The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a classic surf session, you’re gonna have to be patient. The whole 16-day window is a tough watch. There’s a massive gap right at the start where there’s literally nothing worth paddling out for, and that goes on for a solid week. The only spot on the menu is Mother Ivey’s Spot M, and even that’s a tough sell most days.
The first real pulse of swell shows up on the morning of Sunday, July 26, with a 7ft swell from the WNW. That’s a bit of size – maybe one for the experienced crew only, as it’s over 5ft. The combined energy hits 392 (moderate), but the real issue is the wind. It’s a fresh 22 mph cross-shore from the NW, which is going to make things lumpy and choppy. Not the clean, lined-up waves you dream about. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind, and the energy is up to 431, but that wind is still strong at 19 mph. It’s a shame, because the size is there.
Monday morning, July 27, is actually the closest we get to a decent call. You’ve got a 3ft swell from the W, a light 6 mph cross-off breeze from the WNW, and the combined energy sits at 157 (weak). The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for the time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch comfortable. It’s clean, it’s surfable, but just very ordinary. This is your best bet, but don’t expect fireworks.
After that, the swell drops away again. We get a little spike on August 3 with some 5ft swell from the WSW and moderate energy up to 301, but the wind is messy cross-shore, and the quality is poor. The end of the run on August 4 and 5 has some 5ft to 5ft swell from the W and WNW, and the winds go cross-off, so it cleans up. The period is short though (7 seconds), so it’s not going to have much grunt. It’s just clean but weak.
Honestly, if you’re set on getting wet, the Monday morning of July 27 is the only time I’d even think about it. For the rest, the best description is “poor surf conditions” again and again. The swell direction is mostly W or WNW, which is fine for this spot, but the wind and the lack of consistent size just kill it.
Stay patient, brother. Sometimes the ocean just needs a break.
