Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mother Ivey s Spot M over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Mother Ivey’s Spot M. It’s a sheltered, fairly consistent intermediate spot that needs a solid west swell to really fire. Right now, the water’s sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the next couple weeks look pretty flat and frustrating. There’s a tiny pulse of swell rolling in Tuesday afternoon (July 7th) – only 2ft from the west, with a short 8-second period. The combined wave energy is weak at 75. It’s small, but the cross-off wind will keep things clean. Still, it’s barely worth a paddle.
Wednesday morning (July 8th) shows a little more size at 2ft, period pushing to 9 seconds, but it’s cross-on, so bumpy and messy. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft from the WNW at 9 seconds, with 120 weak-to-moderate energy and a clean cross-off breeze. That’s probably the most surfable window of the week, but it’s nothing to write home about.
From Thursday (July 9th) all the way through to the morning of Tuesday, July 22nd, it’s a long dead stretch. Big gap here with almost nothing rideable. Swell drops to 0.7ft to 2ft for days, and the winds are often onshore or strong – lots of cross-on, fresh breezes, and choppy junk. Not a single one of those sessions scores above a 1 in quality. A couple of afternoons have clean faces with tiny waves, but it’s ankle-biters at best.
Now, jump to Wednesday, July 22nd, and things finally shift. The morning brings a proper spike: 5ft from the west at 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 307 – moderate to strong. That’s the standout in this whole forecast. The wind is cross-off and clean, but 5ft is starting to push into intermediate territory and might be too much for beginners. The afternoon holds a similar 5ft from the west, 8 seconds, energy at 264, but the wind goes cross and makes it lumpy.
If you’re looking for the best of a poor run, that Wednesday morning (July 22nd) is the one to target. It’s over two weeks out, so consider it a promising maybe, not a sure thing. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off for Mother Ivey’s.
