The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Spew Pits. Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty quiet story, with only a couple of moments that get the heart rate up.
Right now and through the bulk of this run, the energy just isn’t there. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at weak to moderate energy levels, mostly under 300 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the swell heights are small, bouncing between 2 ft and 5 ft. The period is often short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s pretty weak and gutless for a reef like this. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, so it’s clean enough to look at, but the waves just aren't doing anything exciting. It’s not until Thursday morning, 22nd August, that we see a bit of a spike in energy to 473, with a 6 ft N swell, but the period is still 8 seconds and the wind is cross, so it will be lumpy. That’s a pass for me. There’s a long gap of poor or marginal days here, so don’t expect much to get excited about until the end of the window.
Now, the standout. The only two sessions worth pointing the car at land on Monday 24th August and Tuesday 25th August. Monday morning brings a 3 ft N swell, period 8 seconds (combined swell energy of 229), but the key is the gentle N’ly breeze, which is clean. On Tuesday 25th August, it’s the best of the bunch: a 5 ft N swell with a 9-second period, and moderate energy pushing 402. The wind is cross-off from the NNE, giving us clean faces. This is the only real window where the reef might start to line up and offer a few proper walls. That Tuesday morning session could be the one to circle on the calendar.
Overall, this is a lean forecast for Spew Pits. The reef needs a proper groundswell, and we’re not getting that here. Keep the expectations low until that Monday and Tuesday morning window, then keep an eye on it.
Stay patient, Rusty.

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.
