The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what this forecast is holding for us. To be honest, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next two weeks.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to start. Day after day it’s flat, blown-out, or just plain poor conditions. The first time you might get a wave worth paddling for is Saturday, August 1st. Up until then, it’s a wasteland.
On that Saturday morning at Mother Ivey’s Spot M, we’re looking at a tiny 4 ft swell from the west, with a short 7-second period – so it’s weak, won’t have any real grunt. The combined energy is weak (129). The saving grace? Light offshore wind from the southwest at 15 km/h, and they’ve got it described as clean. For an intermediate spot, you’ll find a few rideable little waves, but don’t expect anything special. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might see a few others in the water.
Later that Saturday, the wind gets fresh at 30 km/h offshore, and the swell nudges up a bit to 4 ft but the period stays short. It’s got more energy (190) but it’s still just okay. The morning is the better call.
After that, it’s back to junk – onshore dribble, lumpy cross-chop – until Sunday, August 9th. That morning sees a bump: 6 ft swell from the west-northwest at 7 seconds, but with a moderate cross-shore wind at 25 km/h and a cross-chop. There’s solid power in the water (339), but it’s going to be messy and bumpy. That afternoon is the same story – 7 ft and 383 energy, still cross-shore and choppy. That’s expert-only territory, and not pretty.
Water temperature at this spot is about 63°F – not far from normal for this time of year, only about 2°F warmer than usual. Nothing crazy.
So the single standout in this whole run is the Saturday, August 1st morning. It’s clean and light, even if the swell is tiny. Everything else is either too small, too messy, or both. A slow fortnight ahead.
