The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a spot on the radar, Mother Ivey’s Spot M, but it’s a sheltered little cove, and it’s just not catching any decent energy for the vast majority of the forecast. You’ll be looking at a long stretch of frustratingly small, weak surf.
The first serious chance you’d even want to get wet is fading fast. From Friday the 31st of July right through the first week of August, we’re stuck with tiny waves mostly under 2ft, short-period wind slop, and a combined swell energy that’s barely registering (50 or less). The wind is a mixed bag – some clean moments, but mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore. It’s poor.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a surf, the best of a bad bunch looks like Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session is glassy, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is still weak (79), but at least it’s clean. Not a standout by any stretch, just the least ugly option.
The pattern doesn’t really improve. There are a few instances in the second week where the swell bumps up a little, like Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the NW and a combined energy of 109. That’s moderate energy, but it’s a short period (5 seconds) and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. For an expert looking for a solo paddle, it’s a possibility, but it’s still not quality surf.
Overall, this is a blank run. For a sheltered spot like this, it’s not unusual to have long gaps with no real surf. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
