The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s shaping up. Spew Pits is a reef break that’s only for the experienced crew, and it breaks pretty regular, but the next few days are a bit of a letdown.
For the first few days, not much happening. Sunday the 13th has some swell at 4ft from the north, but with a short 8 second period and a cross wind, it’s gonna be choppy. Wave energy is moderate (264). Water temp is around 75°, about normal for this time of year. Not worth getting wet.
Monday the 14th morning is the first real highlight. Small 2ft from the NNW but glassy with a 13 second period and clean offshore wind. The energy is solid (211) for the size. Clean and workable for an expert on the reef, but it’s tiny.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday afternoon through Saturday the 19th, it’s mostly poor or marginal. Swell stays small or gets a bit bigger but with strong, lumpy cross winds. Thursday the 17th sees 5ft but with a 7 second period and 19 mph winds – just a mess. The energy jumps up (345 to 519) but the quality is zero. That stretch is a total write-off.
Now, Sunday the 20th morning is a standout. Clean conditions, 2ft from the NNW with a very long 14 second period, and light offshore wind. The reef will handle that long period groundswell well, giving lined-up waves. Energy is strong (373). This is the best in the first week.
Monday the 21st morning is also clean, 2ft, 12 second period, and proper offshore from the ENE. That’s a solid, clean little session.
The real standout, though, is Wednesday the 23rd morning. Clear skies, 4ft from the north with a 12 second period, and a clean cross-off wind. Energy is pumping at 515. For a reef break, that’s gonna be proper. This is the best wave of the whole forecast, but it’s over a week away – so keep an eye on it but don’t plan your life around it yet.
After that, Thursday the 24th morning has a clean 4ft but with a short 7 second period, so it’ll be a bit fat. Friday the 25th afternoon and Saturday the 26th both have clean conditions with medium period swell from the WNW and NW, around 3ft to 3ft, and good energy (324 to 425). Nice, but not a standout.
From Sunday the 27th afternoon onward, it fades fast into small onshore junk.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday the 23rd morning at Spew Pits. Clean, solid energy, and a proper reef wave for experts. Monday the 21st morning is also a good call for cleaner smaller waves.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spew Pits provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spew Pits surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Spew Pits) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
