The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet.
First off, Mother Ivey’s Spot M is in a flat spell for the first few days. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are a total loss – tiny, weak waves with no punch. Saturday the 8th is glassy in the morning, but with only about 1 foot of swell, you’re not surfing.
There’s a gap of poor conditions all the way until the morning of Wednesday the 12th. That’s when it finally gets interesting. The morning of the 12th brings a 3ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 183. The wind is light offshore from the SW, and it’s clean. It’s surfable, but just ordinary.
The real standout is the morning of Thursday the 13th. Glassy, dead calm, with a 4ft west swell and a moderate energy of 235. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s got some shape. That’s your best window early on.
Moving into the weekend of the 15th and 16th, we see more activity. The morning of Saturday the 15th has 4ft swell from the west, 8-second period, and clean cross-off winds. Energy is moderate at 190. Sunday the 16th is similar: 4ft from the west-southwest, with a clean offshore wind in the afternoon. Energy is 158. These are the most consistent days.
The best on offer? The morning of Thursday the 13th. That glassy, calm start with a 4ft west swell (moderate combined energy of 235) is the cleanest and most promising session. The wind is off, the waves are there, and the crowd situation is “sometimes” – so you might have company, but it’s not a circus. The break is fairly consistent, so it should deliver. The 10-second period means it’s a groundswell – more energy and longer lulls, but the shape should be decent.
After that, it gets windier toward the 17th and 18th, with fresh breezes and lumpy conditions. The 19th and 20th have some clean offshore winds but the swell is messy. No real standouts. The morning of Thursday the 13th is your session.
Rusty.
