The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this spot. I’ve looked at the charts, and to be honest, it’s a pretty tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf on offer, so don’t be in a rush to paddle out.

The first decent chance doesn’t roll around until Thursday morning, the 13th of August. Before that, it’s flat and messy. From the 7th through the 12th, you’re looking at a solid block of poor surf conditions with tiny swell and junky winds. Not worth getting wet.

Thursday the 13th morning is where we finally see a pulse. The swell is small at 2ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means better shape but longer waits between sets. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (155). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 66° around here (Mother Ivey’s Spot M). This is the one to look at, but don’t expect fireworks.

Then things get a bit more interesting, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. We get a major pulse of swell building from the 17th of August. By Monday morning the 17th, the swell jumps to 4ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore from the north, making it choppy. The energy is strong (328). That’s a lot of water moving, but the conditions are rough.

The real standout, if you’re an expert and don’t mind a messy session, is the 19th of August. Wednesday morning shows 6ft from the west, and by the afternoon it’s pushing 6ft. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell, not a clean groundswell. The energy is very strong (408-468). The wind is howling onshore, so it’s going to be a washing machine. This is *only* for experienced surfers; beginners, stay well clear. The combined energy is very strong (408-468), so there’s serious power in the water.

Later, on the 20th of August, Thursday morning, it drops to 6ft, but the wind goes glassy calm from the ESE. The surface will be clean, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and it’s a beach break setup, so the long-period caveat doesn’t apply here. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The energy is still strong (383).

For the rest of the run into the 22nd, the swell stays around 4ft to 4ft, but the wind is mostly cross-shore from the southeast, which will keep it lumpy. No real standouts there.

To be honest, the best bet is the Thursday the 13th morning session for a clean, small wave, but it’s nothing to write home about. If you’re an expert and want power, the 19th is the biggest, but expect a battle. For the average punter, it’s a pretty blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking quiet.

Rusty.
