Alright, Rusty here again, lookin’ at the same stretch but in feet and degrees that make sense to the old-school.
First thing: this is a long, quiet run for Spew Pits. That reef doesn’t like sloppy wind or weak swell, and for the first ten days, that’s all we’re given. Short period waves, cross-shore breezes, and combined energy in the weak range – numbers like 26 and 50 don’t lie. Everything says “stay on the beach.”
Water temp is about 72°F, right around average for this time of year, so no surprises in the ocean temp.
From Thursday 9 July all the way through the next week, there’s nothing. Flat, messy, or both. A long gap without a single green light.
The first hint of life comes Sunday the 19th of July. Afternoon shows 1.5m (about 5 ft) from the N, 8-second period, and the wind going cross-off. That’s still a marginal call, but the energy finally lifts to 271 – moderate – so it’s something to watch.
Then Monday the 20th of July morning is your best shot. Swell 1.3m (4 ft) from the N, period 8 seconds, light cross-off breeze, clean lines, energy at 216. The reef breaks best with a NNW swell direction, and this N swell is close enough. Spew Pits is an expert-only spot – consistent, but can get a few heads in the water sometimes. For a rider who knows the ledge, Monday morning is your moment.
After that, the swell builds to 1.7m (6 ft) by the 23rd and 24th, but the wind turns fresh cross-shore, lumping it up. The energy jumps to 356 – strong – but the quality is gone. That setup is more for kites than paddles.
So here’s the bottom line: a long dry spell, one real chance. Monday the 20th of July morning is the standout. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
