The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days at Spew Pits are a tough watch. This is an expert reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the north-northwest, but the forecast is basically a long, drawn-out run of poor surf. The water temperature is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s no drama.
We kick off on Saturday, August 1st, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the northwest, a period of 10 seconds, and a cross-shore northerly breeze at 9 mph. The wave energy is weak (160), and the call is poor surf conditions. That sets the tone. Sunday the 2nd isn’t any better – still 2 ft, a bit more wind, and the swell direction shifts to the west-northwest. Energy drops to 140.
Monday the 3rd through to Sunday the 16th is a real grind. The swell height bounces between 1 ft and 5 ft, mostly from the north or north-northeast, with periods that are short, generally 6 to 10 seconds. The wind is persistent from the north or north-northeast, often a cross-off breeze, which keeps the surface clean at times, but the wave quality is consistently rated as poor. The combined energy barely breaks into the moderate range (100-999) on a few days, with a peak of 516 on the afternoon of Friday, August 14th, but even then, the marginal surf forecast means it’s not really worth getting excited about. For a reef break, that short period swell (under 8 seconds) just doesn’t pack enough punch to shape up well.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The whole 16 days is a blank run. The swell is weak, the wind is never truly offshore, and the consistency of the break doesn’t save it. This is a spot that’s more likely to sit quiet, and that’s exactly what’s happening. If you’re desperate, maybe keep an eye on the cleaner moments, but honestly, save your energy.
Rusty.
