Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hotel Novotel over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s size up Hotel Novotel in imperial. I won’t sugarcoat it – this forecast is a stinker from start to finish. Over the full 16 days, you won’t find a single decent wave.
It starts Thursday, July 9th. The swell is coming from the east, but it’s short-period stuff – mostly around 8 seconds – so it’s gutless. Swell heights run between about 4 ft and 6 ft, which would be okay if the wind wasn’t so damn persistent. But it is. East winds at 15 to 16 mph the whole time, cross-shore, just tearing the surface up. The combined swell energy hits a moderate high around 443 early on, but it doesn't matter because the wave quality is shot. Every single record says “poor surf conditions.”
There’s no glassy morning, no light offshore. Just constant chop. Even the days with 12 mph wind are still cross and bumpy. The water’s about 83°F, normal for the season, so that’s not the issue. The issue is there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. This spot is fairly consistent, but sometimes you just hit a dead zone.
This setup is more interesting for kiteboarding – that steady cross-shore wind is solid – but for a surfer, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Hotel Novotel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hotel Novotel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hotel Novotel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hotel Novotel surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hotel Novotel) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hotel Novotel may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
