The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Mother Ivey’s Spot M has cooking for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burn, but there’s one day that’s worth holding out for.
The first few days are a real dud. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th have tiny, weak swell and the wind is all over the place – not worth getting wet. There’s a lull of a few days with nothing to recommend. Sunday the 26th sees a bump in size to 7ft from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, leaving it lumpy and messy. The energy is moderate (392), but the quality is poor.
From Monday the 27th through to Thursday the 7th of August, it’s mostly small and weak. Swell heights hover under 3ft, with short periods. The energy is low, often under 100. The wind is often cross-off or light, so the surface is clean, but the waves are just too small to ride. There’s a glassy moment on Tuesday the 28th with a 2ft swell, but it’s not enough to get excited about.
Now, the real standout. The morning of Saturday the 1st of August is your best bet. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the west, with a long 12-second period – that’s groundswell, folks. The energy is strong (909), and with a light cross-off breeze from the WNW, it’ll be clean and well-shaped. Because of the long period, this sheltered spot should handle it well. At 6ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates will be in their element. Crowds are possible, but not guaranteed.
The water temp is about 63°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
After that, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore, making for messy conditions. The setup from August 4th onward, with strong offshore winds and solid swell, looks more like a kite surfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s.
So, save your energy for Saturday the 1st of August. That’s your day.
Rusty.
