The Lowdown

Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking at Mother Ivey’s Spot M for the next couple of weeks. It’s a sheltered little west-facing spot, and honestly, for the first week and a half we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch. The wind and swell just aren’t lining up.

We start off on Tuesday the 11th with tiny, weak waves – only 1ft in the morning and dropping to 0.7ft in the afternoon, with a long 13-second period that’ll make it feel even slower. The wind is cross-shore, the energy is barely 28-31 (weak), and it’s just sad. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see a bit more size, up to 4ft, but the wind is cross-on or cross, keeping things choppy and messy. The energy climbs to 267 (moderate) on Thursday morning, but it’s still not clean.

Friday the 14th morning gets a tiny reprieve – 3ft with a cross-off wind, clean lines, and a score of 1. But don’t get excited; the wind swings around in the afternoon and it’s back to poor conditions. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are more of the same: onshore breezes, chop, and energy dropping back to weak.

Monday the 17th through to Thursday the 21st is a real dry spell. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, winds are onshore or strong cross-on, and the energy is weak (30-108). There are days with clean offshore winds from the 24th onward, but the swell is just too tiny to bother paddling out.

Here’s the bright spot, and it’s the only one worth making a plan for. On Friday the 21st of August, things suddenly wake up. That morning we get a glassy, windless surface with a 6ft swell from the WNW, a short 7-second period (so plenty of push for a beach setup), and the combined energy jumps to 411 (strong). This is solid, punchy surf, but at 6ft it’s starting to push into the intermediate zone – maybe a bit much for beginners. The glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean and smooth. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have a few others out, but with the size it should spread out.

Saturday the 22nd keeps the size going with 7ft to 6ft, and a cross-off wind keeps things clean, but the period drops, and the energy is still strong (477-478). This is decent, but the true standout is that Friday morning with the glassy conditions.

After that, the swell drains away quickly. Sunday the 23rd drops to 3ft, and by Monday the 24th it’s back to tiny waves (1-1ft) with those offshore winds – clean but powerless. The rest of the forecast through the 26th is just small, poor surf.

The best bet by far is Friday morning the 21st of August. Get on it – it’s the only time the waves have real grunt and the wind plays nice.
