Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mother Ivey s Spot M over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Mother Ivey’s Spot M over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a solid block of days from now through to the 21st of July where the surf is just plain poor. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and the swell is tiny, weak, and messy. The combined energy barely cracks 50 or 60 (51) at best, and often sits in the teens. Water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, so the water will feel like a warm bath.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 22nd of July. Out of nowhere, a solid pulse of swell rolls in. Wednesday morning sees a 10ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 1157. That’s a lot of power. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. This is a heavy wave for this spot though – at 10ft, it’s only for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds similar size at 10ft, but the energy jumps to 1469, and it’s still cross-off and clean. The period stretches to 9 seconds, which is a bit more organized. This is the standout of the entire outlook – a proper, clean, powerful swell. But given the size, it’s not a day for beginners.
After that peak, the swell drops back down fast. Thursday the 23rd sees a 3ft swell, but the wind goes cross-on again, making it choppy. The rest of the week into the 27th of July is a mix of small, weak swells (2ft to 3ft) with mostly cross-off winds, so it’ll be clean but tiny. The combined energy stays low (29 to 137). Nothing else really stands out as a must-paddle session.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long stretch of flat to poor surf until the 22nd of July. That Wednesday the 22nd is your one true shot at something special, but it’s a big, powerful wave for experts only. After that, it fades back to smaller, cleaner but weak surf.
Rusty.
