The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles.
Right now, the surf is flat at Mother Ivey’s Spot M. There’s nothing worth paddling out for over the next week or so. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the energy is barely registering. There is a long stretch with no recommendations at all. For almost two weeks, this spot isn’t offering anything rideable.
The only time the ocean shows a pulse is on August 9th (Sunday morning). A small bump of swell arrives from the WSW around 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy hits 327 (moderate energy). The wind is offshore from the WSW at 16 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The waves will be small and weak, but for this spot in this period, that is the best you’ll see. The break is fairly consistent but sheltered, so it needs that WSW push to wake up. The water is about 64°, which is described as a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. There is no standout bigger swell or excellent quality in this whole outlook, but if you are desperate, that Sunday morning is your best bet, even though it’s still pretty ordinary.
Later on that same Sunday afternoon, the swell builds to 6ft from the WSW with a longer 11-second period, and the energy jumps to 944 (strong wave energy). That’s a bigger, better-shaped swell. But the wind swings cross-offshore, and the conditions are rated as poor. The wave is there, but the wind might mess it up. Still, it is the biggest swell of the whole forecast.
On August 11th (Tuesday morning), the swell drops to 5ft from the WNW, 9-second period, with light cross-offshore wind. Clean, but only moderate energy (375). Not terrible, but nothing special.
If you ride a kite, the setup on August 10th (Monday) with a 7ft swell and strong cross-onshore wind might look good, but for paddle surfing, it is not ideal.
The short version: The only window worth paddling out is Sunday the 9th into Monday the 10th, and even then, conditions are marginal. It can change, so check the forecasts.
