The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Spew Pits is a tough one. Not gonna sugarcoat it: there's no good surf on offer for the vast majority of the window. The water's sitting at 74°, which is about 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
From Thursday 16 July right through to Friday 31 July, the wave comment on every single time slot says "poor surf conditions." The swell direction rarely matches the optimum NNW that this reef loves—mostly N or NNE, with short periods hanging between 6 and 9 seconds. Winds are cross-off or cross, never clean and offshore for any sustained stretch, so the surface stays lumpy and choppy. Even as the swell builds into the second week—hitting 7 ft by the 25th and 26th—the combined energy climbs into the 700s (strong), but the quality is trashed by those side winds.
There is one tiny glimmer: on Sunday morning, 26 July. That session shows a 7 ft N swell with a 8-second period, cross-off wind from the NNE at 16 mph, clean conditions, and the comment says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It scored just 2 out of 10. So if you're a die-hard expert willing to paddle out into a messy, tide-affected reef, you might get a few lumps, but don't expect anything memorable. The rest of the window is a blank run. For a spot that's usually consistent, this kind of extended poor spell is unusual, but it happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change.

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.
