The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next week and a half, it’s a tough slog. There’s a long, flat spell right off the bat. From now through to the morning of Friday the 7th of August, Mother Ivey’s Spot M (a sheltered W-facing break) has absolutely nothing going for it. We’re talking barely ankle-snappers, with wave heights ranging from 0.7ft to 3ft, and none of it clean enough to bother. That’s about 9 days with no worthwhile surf. The water temp is about 64°, so a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but it won't do you any good with the swell this weak.
Finally, on the afternoon of Friday the 7th of August, a pulse of energy arrives. The combined energy jumps right up (1164) – that's strong wave energy – and we get an 8ft W swell, with an 8-second period. That’s more like it. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, and the comments say it’ll be very good surf conditions. At 8ft, this is expert territory – not one for the groms. The direction matches the optimum W swell direction perfectly. This is the standout of the entire outlook.
Saturday the 8th of August is a follow-up day, but the quality drops. The morning has a 6ft W swell (489 moderate energy), glassy with light SW wind, which would be a good session for the confident intermediate. But the afternoon turns to junk with a cross-on wind.
After that, from Sunday the 9th through to the end of the forecast on Thursday the 13th of August, we’re back to small, messy, or onshore junk – nothing worth paddling out for. The break is fairly consistent when there is swell, but this is just a lean run.
So, your only real play is the Friday afternoon the 7th. That’s the day. Keep your eye on it – if the winds hold, it'll be a cracker for the big-wave crew. Otherwise, the board stays in the car.
