The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The first week or so is a bit of a dud. We’ve got a long run of poor surf from Monday the 24th of August through the end of the month, with only a couple of marginal days. The wind is mostly a moderate to fresh cross-off or cross breeze, and the swell just isn’t playing ball. There’s a big gap with no real recommendations, so you’re better off waiting.
The real window is looking like the 6th and 7th of September. Let’s talk about Spew Pits. This is an expert-only reef break, and it’s consistent. For a few days there, we’ve got some serious juice. On Sunday the 6th of September, you’ve got a clean morning with a 3ft NW swell at a very long 13 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 686. Then the afternoon gets interesting: a 2ft WNW swell, but with a period of 25 seconds – that’s about as long as it gets. The energy jumps to 1063, which is strong. The wind is a cross-off, so it’ll be clean. This is a groundswell, and with that period, it’s going to be a proper, long-period pulse. It’ll be better at a reef like this one, but remember, it’s only for the experts anyway.
Then Monday the 7th of September is the pick of the bunch. Morning sees a 5ft WNW swell, 18-second period, and a massive 1733 combined energy. The afternoon is similar with a 5ft swell, 16-second period, and 1465 energy. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the NNE both sessions, so it’ll be clean. The water temperature is 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is the best stretch on offer. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not a guarantee just yet.
The rest of the first week of September is a mix of small, short-period swell and tricky winds, not worth getting excited about. Crowds at Spew Pits are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out there, but it’s not a zoo.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Spew Pits may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
