The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – this 16-day window for Mother Ivey’s Spot M is pretty bleak. I’ve looked through every day from now right through to July 29, and I just can’t find a single session worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty weird, but it doesn’t help the surf one bit.
The trouble is, the swell never really lines up with the optimum direction this break needs – west. Most days we’ve got tiny little lumps coming from north, north-northeast, or west-northwest, and the energy is weak, usually under 100 during the first week and a half. Even when the energy bumps up a bit later – like on the 26th we see 350, and the 27th morning hits 338 – the winds are cross-off or cross, which is okay for shape, but the swell heights are still only around 3‑5 ft with short periods. It’s all labelled “poor surf conditions” for a reason.
The one tiny glimmer is the morning of the 29th. We get a 7 ft west swell, period 7 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind – that’s clean, and the energy is strong at 420. But the breaker itself is marginal at best, maybe questionable tide. For an intermediate spot, that’s borderline and I wouldn’t get your hopes up. The afternoon of the 29th drops back to 5 ft and the wind turns cross-off, but it’s still not a standout.
Overall, there’s nothing to recommend here. The break is fairly consistent usually, but this stretch is just a dud. Forecasts can change, but right now I’d say don’t bother driving out. Keep an eye on the charts – it won’t stay this poor forever.
