Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mother Ivey s Spot M over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Mother Ivey’s Spot M. To be honest, it’s a pretty rough start. From Friday 10th July all through to Wednesday 22nd July, there’s hardly anything worth paddling out for. Tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with onshore to cross-onshore breezes messing up any chance of clean faces. The swell energy numbers are low – mostly below 100, barely cracking triple digits. You’d be battling chop for nothing. It’s a real blank stretch, about a week and a half of poor conditions.
Then things start to look up a bit on Thursday 23rd July. Swell builds to around 7ft from the west, period at 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 459. But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and choppy. Not a classic, but at least there’s some push.
Now here’s the one you’ve been waiting for: Friday 24th July and Saturday 25th July are the absolute standouts of this whole 16-day window. Friday afternoon sees the wind go cross-off from the SSE, with the swell jumping to a solid 15ft from the west, and a 12-second period. The energy is massive – 5203. That’s a serious amount of ocean moving. Saturday morning goes even better: pure offshore wind from the southwest, a 10ft west swell with an 11-second period, and energy at 1933. The water will be glassy clean. But hear me now – that size is well over 8ft, so only the experienced crew should even look at it. Beginners need to stay on the beach. The long-period groundswell means bigger gaps between sets, making the paddle out easier, but when the sets come they’ll be heavy. Since this spot is sheltered, it will focus that west swell nicely.
Water temps are sitting around 64°F, and with the anomaly running much warmer than normal (about 4°F above average), you’ll be fine in a spring suit or shorty.
Saturday afternoon still has good clean 10ft swell, with a light cross-off breeze. Still a solid session.
After that, it’s back to messy cross-onshore wind and dropping swell. A long wait, but that Friday/Saturday combo makes it all worth it.
