The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Mother Ivey’s Spot M has got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This spot is pretty sheltered, so it needs a good angle to light up, and for the first ten days, we’re just not getting it. The whole run from Tuesday the 21st through to the end of July is a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly a messy cross-onshore, and the wave energy is basically non-existent. You’ll see a lot of scores of zero, and that’s the truth. The only thing that looks pretty is a glassy morning on Thursday the 23rd, but with a wave of just 1 ft, it’s a pond, not a surf.
We do get a spike of energy on Sunday the 26th of July, with a 7 ft swell from the WNW and a moderate combined energy (585). That’s a proper size, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a lumpy cross-shore, so it’s gonna be a messy, chunky close-out. That’s expert territory if you’re a local who knows how to handle a beatdown, but it's not a recommended session.
The only real window where things start to look promising is the first week of August. On Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, we get a steady 3 ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 to 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore or clean cross-off. The combined energy on Monday afternoon hits 143, which is moderate and actually has some push. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick suit just yet.
If I were you, I’d mark Tuesday the 4th of August as the standout. The morning sees a fresh offshore wind from the SSW, cleaning up that 3 ft W swell. It’s not huge, but it’s the best combination of clean conditions and rideable size we see in the whole 16 days. It’s a sheltered spot, so it won’t be a free-for-all, but do expect that crowds are possible. It’s a fairly consistent break when it’s on, so there’s a reason to be a little optimistic.
For the rest of the run, it’s a long wait. The first week is a total dud, so don’t bother. The second week has a few small, clean windows but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game until early August.
Rusty.
