The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Mother Ivey's Spot M.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of the 16-day window is looking pretty bleak. We've got a solid gap of no real surf for the first few days. Friday afternoon, July 31st, kicks off with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the WNW, but it's blown out by a cross-shore wind and the combined energy is a weak 13. That's not even worth paddling out for. Saturday and Sunday, August 1st and 2nd, are tiny and weak too, with the swell barely hitting 2ft. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°F.
We're stuck in a quiet spell until Monday, August 3rd. That morning we get a little bump of 3ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 101 (moderate) and clean conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze. It's a small wave, but it's the first sign of life. Tuesday, August 4th, is a bit better. The swell picks up to 3ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon from the SW, with a moderate offshore wind that keeps it clean. The energy builds to 130. It's surfable, but ordinary.
The best of the forecast, and the only real standout, is on Wednesday, August 5th. The swell hits 5ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 236 (moderate) in the morning. The wind is offshore and clean. It's a solid, rideable size for the area, and the wind is on your side. That's your window. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's windswell, not groundswell, but at this size, it'll be fun.
The quality drops off hard after that. Thursday, August 6th, the wind swings cross-onshore and the swell drops. Friday, August 7th, is back to tiny 1.0ft and 0.7ft waves. The entire second week is a write-off. We get a spike in size on Sunday, August 9th, with a 8ft swell from the W, but it's a cross-shore mess with a combined energy of 915 (strong). That's big, but the conditions are "poor" – it's just a lumpy, cross-shore closeout. Definitely not for beginners, and only for experts who don't mind a battle. The rest of the week is a slow slide back to tiny, weak waves with onshore winds.
So, here's the bottom line: if you want a paddle, focus on Wednesday, August 5th. The morning will be your best bet with 5ft waves and clean offshore wind. The rest of the window is mostly a blank. This spot is fairly consistent, so it's a bit of a bummer, but these quiet runs happen. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
