The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mother Ivey’s Spot M over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, dry spell with hardly any surf to get excited about. From the start of August right through to the 11th, it’s mostly tiny, weak swell with messy winds. The wave energy is pathetic, barely getting into double digits on the 1st at just 40. There’s a bit of a bump on the morning of the 3rd with a clean 3ft from the WSW, but it’s just not enough to push through. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant for a swim, but that’s about it.
Things start to look a bit more promising on the 12th. The morning shows some life with a 4ft swell from the WSW and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy jumps to 231, which is moderate, but the wave comment is still just ‘surfable but very ordinary.’ Still, it’s the first real sign of something. The 13th morning is the standout in this quieter period – glassy conditions, a 4ft swell from the WSW, and a clean face. The energy is moderate at 167. It’s not huge, but with the wind glassed off, it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so it might be worth an early paddle.
Now, the real headline is the 16th. Sunday morning the 16th is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate energy reading of 526 – that’s strong, proper energy. The wind is a gentle cross-off breeze, so it’ll be clean. That’s a proper swell, but at 7ft it’s moving into expert territory – this isn’t one for beginners. The afternoon holds similar size at 8ft with energy at 639, but the conditions are described as ‘marginal’ due to tide or other factors. The morning of the 16th is your best bet for a real session, though it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast.
For the rest of the time, it’s a waiting game. Don’t bother with the first 11 days unless you’re desperate for a float.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
