The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for you right here. Let’s look at what’s happening at Mother Ivey’s Spot M.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is flat as a pancake. We’ve got a gap stretching from Friday the 31st of July all the way through to about the 14th of August, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the period is short, so there’s no real push. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the double digits (like 52 or 35), and only occasionally bumps into the low hundreds, like 106 on the 3rd of August morning, but even then, the conditions are written off as poor.
The wind is a problem too. For most of the start, it’s cross or cross-on, messing up any chance of a clean face. There are a few moments of glass or offshore, like Monday the 3rd of August morning with a glassy 3 ft swell from the WSW, but it’s still labeled as poor surf. The water temp is 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The one standout, and I mean the only real chance to get wet, is on the morning of Friday the 14th of August. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the W, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is cross-off from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy hits 107, which is moderate. But here’s the catch: this is a very exposed, sheltered spot, and the swell direction is from the W, which matches the optimum direction. It’s also fairly consistent for this spot, but the crowds are possible. This is only for intermediate surfers. The swell is 3 ft, so it’s fine for that level, but it’s not a big day.
The afternoon of the 14th gets a bit more wind, a fresh offshore from the SSW at 22 mph, with the swell dropping to 3 ft. It’s clean, but lumpy. The best bet is definitely the morning session.
Overall, there’s a lot of waiting around. If you’re desperate, the 14th of August morning is your best shot. But don’t expect much. This is a blank run for the area, so it’s not unusual.
