Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mother Ivey s Spot M over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s coming up in our local waters. I’ll be honest, we’ve got a dry spell to get through before we see anything worth paddling for.
At Mother Ivey’s Spot M, the water temp is about 64°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. Nice to feel on your feet, but it doesn’t help the surf.
From July 11th right through to the 20th, the surf is basically flat or tiny. The wave heights are under a foot and a half for days, with weak energy readings. The wind is mostly messy, cross-onshore, or just not cooperating. There are a couple of mornings on the 15th and 16th where the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making the ocean look glassy, but there’s just no swell to push it. Not worth the walk.
Things start to stir on the 21st of July. The swell picks up to around 5ft from the WNW, with a fresh offshore wind from the SW. The energy jumps to 194, so there’s power. But it’s still called poor surf conditions, and 5ft here at this spot is just getting interesting, not firing.
The one day to really watch is Saturday, July 25th. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the WNW, with a strong 9-second period. That’s a lot of water moving. The combined energy is massive, over 1200. Saturday morning offers a moderate cross-offshore wind from the W, and the afternoon brings a fresh offshore from the SW, so the waves will be clean and lined up. 10ft is serious – strictly for the experienced crew, not for groms or weekend warriors. This is the one to aim for, but remember it’s a long way off and forecasts can shift.
So, for the next week and a half, save your wax. The only mark on the calendar is Saturday, July 25th. Even a spot like this, which is fairly consistent, can go quiet, and this is one of those quiet periods.
Rusty.
