The Lowdown
Alright, let me put it in terms you might be more familiar with. This is Rusty, and we’re talking about Spew Pits for the next couple of weeks.
The first day, Monday the 24th of August, there’s some swell. Waves around 6 feet from the NNW, and the water’s about 76°, which feels a touch warmer than average. The wind is coming from the NE and N at 9 mph, cross-off. The energy is moderate (944). It’s not a total loss, but it’s marginal, and the wind isn’t doing any favors.
From Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 29th, the swell drops out. We’re down to 2 feet on Thursday morning with a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (44). The wind picks up to 22 mph from the NNE. It’s a real quiet stretch with a gap of a few days. Not much to surf.
Then on Saturday the 29th of August, a pulse of groundswell comes in from the N, about 6 feet with a period of 12 seconds. The energy jumps to strong (1081). But the wind is gusting at 22 mph from the NNE, making it rough. It’s marginal. If you’re an expert and you’ve got no other options, you might get one, but it won’t be pretty.
The next week into early September is a broken record: waves from 3 to 5 feet from the N, with moderate to fresh breezes from the NNE (around 19 to 22 mph). The break is consistent, but the quality is poor. The energy stays moderate, for example around 444 on Wednesday the 2nd. It’s surfable, but it’s not good.
Finally, on Monday the 7th of September, we get a change. The swell direction swings to the WNW, with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy hits 830 on the morning, then 1204 in the afternoon. The wind is light at first, only 6 mph from the NW, then building to 9 mph from the NNW. It’s cross-on, so it won’t be glassy, but that long period at a reef can still produce some nice lines. It’s marginal, but it’s the best-looking window in the whole outlook.
The one to watch: Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. The swell is real and the period is massive. That’s your best chance, but the wind direction is the question mark. It’s promising, but far off.
Honestly, most of this stretch looks better for kiteboarding, with steady wind and a beach-reef setup. It won’t stay this bad forever, but for now, just wait for that distant window.
