The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here checkin’ in on Spew Pits. This reef spot is consistent, but the next couple weeks are a grind, and you’ll need to wait for the good stuff.
We’re locked into a long stretch of onshore flow, with the wind out of the NNE to N at a solid 18 to 22 mph. That’s a cross-offshore breeze, which keeps the surface clean, but the swell is comin’ from the same direction and it’s all short-period junk — 6 to 8 seconds. The energy is low to moderate (values from 111 to 414), and the ocean is just pumping out “poor surf conditions.” The water is a touch warmer than average at 73°F, about 2°F above normal, so that’s comfy for a float, but the waves are a bummer.
This all changes around the end of the month. Starting July 28th, the swell picks up to 7 ft to 7 ft from the N and NNE, with the period stretching to 9 seconds. The energy jumps into the “strong” range (617 to 1143). This is expert-only territory at that size, and the wind is still a strong breeze around 22 to 25 mph, but it stays cross-offshore, so the faces will be clean.
The best of it is lookin’ like Thursday afternoon July 30th and maybe Friday morning July 31st. The swell is at its peak, the energy is the highest of the whole run, and the wind is manageable. The waves will be meaty and powerful, but the short period means it’s not gonna be a long, peeling line. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle the punch, but it’s a short, steep drop situation. By August 1st and 2nd, the swell backs off to 5 ft to 6 ft, the energy drops, but the wind eases to a moderate breeze, which is a nice change of pace.
So here’s the bottom line: if you’re a proper expert lookin’ for a heavy, punchy session, the end of the month is your only real window. The rest of it is a waiting game. The wind is stubborn, and the swell is just not quality. It’s not a total write-off, but it’s not a classic run either.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, and don’t get too eager.

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.

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.
