The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
First up, Mother Ivey’s Spot M. Right now, the water’s running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 64°F, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out.
But honestly, for the first few days, it’s pretty grim. Through Monday 20 July and Tuesday 21 July, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell with cross-onshore winds messing things up. The combined energy is barely registering (18 on Monday morning, 37 in the arvo), and what little swell there is has a long period but it’s just not enough to do anything with. It’s poor surf, no two ways about it.
Wednesday 22 July sees a bit more size – 4 ft on the nose – but it’s short period (5 seconds) and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, just lumpy and messy. Still no good.
Thursday 23 July starts with a glassy morning, but the swell is back down to 1 ft, so it’s flat.
We then hit a real dry spell. From Friday 24 July right through to the end of the month, the swell stays tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with cross-onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s a brief moment on Sunday 26 July where the combined energy jumps to 197, but that’s a 4 ft short-period swell with a cross-onshore, so it’s just a messy, choppy wave. Not worth the paddle.
The only glimmer in the whole outlook comes on Monday 27 July. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the west, period 9 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell – and the wind is cross-offshore at 12 mph, so it’s clean. The combined energy is 122 (moderate), so there’s some push there. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon backs off to 2 ft, still clean.
After that, it’s back to the same story: small, weak, chopped-up surf right through to the end of the 16-day window on Tuesday 4 August.
So, here’s the honest truth: there’s no real standout session in this whole forecast. The best you’ll get is that Monday 27 July morning, and even that’s just a “maybe worth a look” situation. The rest is a long gap of poor conditions. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a disappointing run.
