The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mother Ivey’s Spot M. It’s going to be a bit of a flat spell for a while, so strap in, because we’re talking about a long wait.
Right now, the beginning of this forecast is a real struggle. We’ve got a big gap of nearly a week starting immediately with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first few days are just tiny, with swell heights barely hitting 2ft and the combined energy is weak, reading as low as 12. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no shocks there.
We finally get a pulse on the 2nd of August – that’s a Sunday. The swell jumps to 12ft from the WSW, with a period of 10-11 seconds, and the combined energy goes through the roof at 2248. That’s a strong, powerful swell. The wind is offshore, blowing out of the SW at 22-28 mph, which is great for clean faces, but honestly, at that size, this sheltered spot is going to be very, very heavy. It’s an expert-only zone that day. The offshore wind will make it glassy, but paddling into that 12ft wall will be a serious mission. This is the standout, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.
After that, the swells drop back down. We get a bit of 4ft to 5ft stuff on the 3rd through the 5th of August, but the period is short, around 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate at best, reading 159 to 227. The wind stays clean, cross-off, but the waves are just ordinary. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get your heart pumping.
So, the real highlight is that Sunday, the 2nd of August. If you’re a solid, experienced surfer and you’ve got the right board, that’s the day. The swell direction from the W matches perfectly with the break’s optimum, and the offshore wind will make it look like a postcard. For everyone else, it’s a week of waiting, then a day of heavy hitters, then back to the small stuff.
Rusty, signing off.
