The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Mother Ivey’s Spot M has got cooking for us. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. We’re staring down a long, quiet spell with no real surf to speak of for the vast majority of the forecast.
The pattern starts with tiny, weak swell from the 29th of July right through the first week of August. The waves are small, mostly under 3 feet, and the energy is low. On the 30th of July, for example, we’re looking at a combined energy of only 61 (weak). The wind is a bit messy too, mostly cross or cross-on, which is not doing us any favours. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 3rd of August where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 1 feet – barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Honestly, for the first ten days or so, there’s nothing to get excited about. Most of the time the score is a total zero. It’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, pops up on the 11th of August. Tuesday morning we get a bit of life. The swell picks up to 3 feet from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 109 (moderate). The real kicker here is the wind: glassy. That’s a major positive – clean, smooth conditions. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is close to the optimum W direction for this sheltered spot. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is the one window to keep an eye on. It’s still a small wave, but it’s the best on offer. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so with the only rideable surf in a fortnight, you might have company.
After that, it fades back to tiny, weak, and choppy again through the 13th of August. So, to sum it up: a long, flat run, with a single promising little window on the morning of the 11th of August. Keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds.
Rusty.
