Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got.
Honestly, this is a tough run of the surf. The whole 16-day stretch (from July 7th onwards) is one long, drawn-out gap with no real surf worth paddling out for. Every single forecast comes with the same word: "poor." The swell is weak, the wind is nearly always cross or cross-off from the north, and the wave energy is just not there. The water temp is 72°, which is right about average for this time of year.
The only name on the list is Spew Pits, an expert-level reef break that needs a specific NNW swell to really fire. The optimum direction is from the NNW, and while we do see some swell from that direction, it’s tiny. For the first week, we're looking at wave heights barely breaking 3 ft, with short periods of 4-7 seconds. The combined energy (18) is embarrassingly weak. It’s just not going to break properly, and the cross-winds will make a mess of what little is there.
There's a bit of a pulse towards the start of the second week, on the 16th and 17th, where the swell nudges up to 6 ft. The energy picks up to moderate levels (249) but the period is still a weak 6-7 seconds and the direction is more NNE, not the ideal NNW. Plus, it's mostly cross-off winds. For a spot that is "consistent" and exposed, it’s a disappointing showing. It’s a fair way out, too, over a week away, so treat that with a pinch of salt.
After that, it tails off again into tiny, weak leftovers.
If I’m being straight up, there’s nothing here that gets the heart racing. This is a blank run for the area, plain and simple. Sometimes the forecasts change for the better, but right now, I’d save the wax for another week.
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.
