The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight off the bat. The next 16 days are a bit of a tough stretch at Spew Pits. This is an expert-level reef break, so it’s not for the faint-hearted anyway, but honestly, the conditions are pretty grim for most of the period. The wind is almost always cross or cross-offshore from the north and northeast, which is not ideal for this spot, and the swell is mostly small or messy.
The first hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 14th. Even then, it’s only 3ft of swell from the NNW, with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 82. It’s clean, but really ordinary. You’d be better off waiting.
Things pick up a little around Friday, the 17th, into the weekend. The swell jumps to 5ft, but it’s coming from the NNE, and the period drops to a punchy, short 6-7 seconds. The energy is moderate – around 180. But the wind stays fresh and cross-off, so it’s going to be bumpy and hard to enjoy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle day.
The second week is a bit of a broken record. From Monday, the 21st, through to the end of the period, the swell sticks around 4ft to 6ft from the north, with short period (7-8 seconds). The energy builds – on the 26th and 27th, it’s strong, with values over 300. But the wind stays cross or cross-off, and it’s always described as “poor surf conditions.” The size gets up to 6ft on the 26th, which is getting into the too-big-for-beginners range, but with that wind, it’s just not clean.
The only day that even flirts with being okay is Tuesday, the 21st in the afternoon, and Wednesday, the 22nd in the afternoon. The swell is 4ft from the north, 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (211 and 216). The wind is a moderate breeze, still cross-off, but it’s described as “marginal surf forecast.” It doesn’t get any better than that in this window.
Water temp is 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The wind just won’t play ball, and the swell direction is never quite right for this reef. Keep your hopes low, and check back later.
