The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a rough stretch ahead for Hotel Novotel. The first whole week is pretty much a write-off for anything decent. A consistent east wind is going to mess up the surface, and the wave energy stays weak. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
The first surf worth even talking about doesn’t arrive until Friday, August 14th. By the afternoon, we see a cleanup in the wind, turning cross-off. The swell picks up to 8ft from the east, but the energy is strong (1263). That’s serious size though—really only for the experienced crew, as it’ll be a handful.
Saturday, August 15th goes backward, with the cross-shore wind and lumpy chop ruining things again.
The real standout, and the best call on offer, is Monday, August 17th. Both morning and afternoon have light winds and clean conditions. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the east, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate (607), and the wind goes offshore in the afternoon with a lighter breeze. This is your window for quality, clean waves at Hotel Novotel. It’s beginner-friendly enough on the morning session, but the afternoon offshore wind will make for some proper shape. Just be aware the period is long, which can make it a bit straight at the beach, but the clean face will help.
After that, we’re back into poor, onshore junk from Tuesday, August 18th right through the rest of the forecast. The swell fades and the wind goes onshore, delivering chopped-out conditions. A long, blank run to finish the outlook.
Signing off, Rusty.
