The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the Hotel Novotel stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window, and honestly, there’s no decent surf on offer. The whole forecast is a long, drawn-out run of poor conditions, with nothing that even gets close to a recommendation. That’s 16 days with no real options, which is a pretty bleak run for this area.
The only hint of something that might be worth a look is right at the very tail end. On Sunday, 16th of August, the swell picks up a bit – 7ft to 7ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a moderate energy pulse (combined energy of 650 to 783). The wind on Sunday afternoon turns light and cross-off from the ENE, which is clean. But it’s still a 7ft+ east swell at a spot that’s pretty exposed to the east, and the data calls it “marginal” with questionable tide conditions. The water temperature is about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Still, that’s not a standout. The rest of the window is a mess of cross-shore winds, choppy conditions, and tiny swell. A few days in the second week (from the 13th to the 15th of August) see some bigger swell – 7ft to 6ft from the ESE and E – but the wind is a fresh cross-shore breeze at 19 mph, creating lumpy, ugly conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing to get excited about. Surf’s a no-go. Keep your board in the car and hope the forecasts change. Sometimes it’s just like this.
Rusty.
