The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I'll be straight with you – this stretch at Mother Ivey's Spot M is shaping up as a real patience tester. For the next week and a half, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the conditions are just plain ordinary. We're talking a solid run of "poor surf conditions" from now until the 7th of August. There's a bit of a gap at the start here, with no surf worth paddling out for. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, barely scratching the surface on the 30th and 31st of July, but the wind is all over the place and the waves are messy.
Now, things start to get interesting on the 7th of August. Friday morning, the wind swings offshore from the SW at just 6 mph, and we see a 5 ft swell from the WSW. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit weak, but it's clean. The combined energy is moderate (233). It's surfable, but very ordinary. The real standout is the 8th of August. Saturday morning is looking like the pick of the whole 16-day window. We've got a solid 6 ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze from the W at 9 mph. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is strong (478). This is the one to circle. It's a sheltered spot, so it'll be holding that west swell nicely. The crowd situation is "sometimes" at this spot, so you might have a few others out, but for the quality on offer, it's worth the company.
The afternoon on the 8th sees similar swell (6 ft) but the conditions are a bit more marginal, with a note on questionable tide. The 9th of August drops right back off, with a small 3 ft swell and a light offshore, but it's not much to write home about. After that, from the 10th of August, the wind picks up again, with strong breezes and messy cross-chop, so we're back to waiting. So, make your move on the 8th of August. That's the one. The 7th is a decent warm-up if you're keen. After that, it's back to the drawing board.
Rusty.
