The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Spew Pits.
Straight up, the next week and a half is a tough stretch for this spot. The wind is a major problem. We've got a near-constant cross-off or cross wind from the north and north-northeast, blowing in the 15 to 19 mph range, which is just ruining the surface. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, but that's about the only thing going for it. The wave energy is moderate, but the quality is shot. The swell is generally small, between 2ft and 5ft for most of the first week, with a messy short period of 6 to 8 seconds, and the forecast calls it "poor surf conditions" right through to the 12th. That's a long gap of nothing to get excited about.
We do see a glimmer of hope on the 13th of September. Sunday morning shapes up with a light breeze from the north-northeast, making it a clean cross-off. The swell is a modest 4ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 227. It's not a stand-out, but it's the first time the conditions are described as "expect good surf conditions." The crowd factor is noted as "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
The real standout, the one that has my attention, is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning session looks like the pick of the entire forecast. We get a light offshore wind from the east, 6 mph, which will put a nice clean face on the waves. The swell is 4ft from the north, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 214. Again, it's not a monster swell, but with that offshore wind and the "expect good surf conditions" call, it will be the cleanest, most ridable wave of the whole two weeks. This is a reef break, and it's consistent, so it'll hold that north swell well. It's rated expert-level, so you'll need to know what you're doing.
After that, the wind gets messy again. By the 17th and 18th, the swell bumps up to 6ft with a good period of 8 seconds, hitting a combined energy of 519, which is strong. But the wind goes back to a messy cross-shore, making it only "marginal" at best. That's a lot of energy being wasted by poor conditions.
So, there's a long wait, but if you can get out on the morning of the 15th, you'll be rewarded. The 13th is a backup for a Sunday session. The rest of it, unfortunately, looks like a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
