The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next 16 days.
Alright, I'm gonna be straight with you – the charts are looking pretty bleak for a solid session at Mother Ivey's Spot M. There's a lot of nothing on the cards for the first week and a half. The water is sitting at a very warm 66°, running about 4° above normal for this time of year, which is notable.
The first glimpse of something that might get you out of bed is on the 19th of August. Wednesday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the W with a period of 11s. It's a bit on the bigger side for a beginner, but for an intermediate, it's worth a look. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate (320). It's a sheltered spot, so it'll be holding that swell. It's not a stand-out, but it's the first real chance.
Then, we skip ahead to the 24th of August. Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the W, but it's short period (8s) and the wind is a heavy cross-onshore at 22 mph. The combined energy is strong (521), but it's going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. This one is a pass for a paddle board; it looks more interesting for kite surfing.
The real standout, the only one I'd call a true highlight, is the 26th of August. Wednesday afternoon, the swell is 8 ft from the W with an 8s period. That's a big wave, only for the experts. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, and the combined energy is strong at 664. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions" – and with that offshore wind and that much energy, it could be the best we see all window. Get the big board ready.
Overall, a long quiet spell until the 19th, and then one big, powerful day for the experts on the 26th. Don't hold your breath for the rest.
Rusty.
