The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a rough stretch. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a bust for a proper surf. We’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions before anything even looks half-decent.
For the first week and a half, from Friday the 14th of August right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it's ugly. Spew Pits is seeing wind-affected, weak little waves. The swell is tiny, mostly 2 to 4 feet, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is low to moderate, but the bigger issue is the constant cross to cross-offshore wind at 9 to 18 mph. It’s keeping the wave faces messy and bumpy. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Even the cleaner-looking slots on the 20th and 22nd are still tiny and weak.
There’s a tiny glimmer right at the end, on the 25th and 26th of August. We see the swell finally picking up to 6 to 7 feet from the NNE, with a slightly better period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps up, and the wind stays clean and cross-offshore at 15 to 18 mph. But even then, the scores are only marginal because of the size – 7 feet at a powerful reef like Spew Pits means it’s strictly for experts only. There are no standout sessions in this entire run. It’s a frustrating stretch, but it won’t stay poor forever. 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.
