The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for Mother Ivey’s Spot M. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be pleasant sitting on the beach watching the tide come in.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 18th of August. Even then, the morning has some energy with a 5ft swell out of the west, but it’s period is short at 7 seconds and the combined energy is a moderate 279. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might be clean enough for a few close-outs. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell drops to 4ft from the west (8 second period) and the wind turns cross-offshore. The wave comment calls it “surfable but very ordinary”, which is about right. It’s a 1 out of 10 situation, so don't get your hopes up.
After that brief flicker, it’s back to nothing much through the rest of the 16-day run. The energy is weak, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment stays firmly stuck on “poor surf conditions.” It’s a pretty blank run for this area, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.
