The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s look at Spew Pits. This is a serious expert reef, exposed to the north-northwest – that’s the direction it loves. Water temp is 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first week is a write-off. From Monday August 31st through Sunday September 6th, the wind is hammering from the NNE to N at 15–22 mph, mostly cross-off or cross, but it creates lumpy cross-chop and choppy conditions. Swell runs 3 ft to 6 ft, but it’s all short-period windswell of 6–8 seconds. Combined energy hits a moderate 232 on Monday morning, peaking at a stronger 426 on Wednesday September 2nd, but the wind ruins it. This stretch is more for kite-surfing than paddling.
Thursday September 3rd morning offers a little break with a light northerly breeze at 6 mph and a clean cross-shore, but the swell is only 4 ft and still short period – marginal at best. Friday September 4th afternoon gets a light NE cross-off at 6 mph with 3 ft of N swell (135 energy), still very ordinary.
The first real standout is Monday September 7th. The swell direction swings northwest and the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Monday morning shows 3 ft of NW swell with that long period, and the combined energy is a moderate 317. The NNE wind at 12 mph stays cross-off, giving clean waves. The longer period means longer lulls between sets, making it easier to get out back. This is the session for experts.
Another decent window appears on Monday September 14th. The wind is light to moderate from the north, cross-off all day, with swell building to 5 ft from the north at 8 seconds. The combined energy hits a strong 415 on Monday morning, and the clean winds give it some real push. It’s a good option, but nothing beats the 7th with that long-period NW groundswell.
After that, the forecast trails off into smaller, shorter-period junk with onshore wind.
Best standout: Monday September 7th at Spew Pits – that long-period NW groundswell with clean cross-off conditions is the one to aim for. The 14th is a solid backup.
Rusty.
