The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hotel Novotel are a tough watch. The forecast is basically one long stretch of poor conditions, with no real surf on offer worth paddling out for. The wind is stuck in a cross or cross-onshore pattern from the ESE and E, keeping the surface chopped up and messy. There’s a gap of no recommendations right from the start, and it stays that way through the whole period.
Let’s walk through it. From Tuesday the 28th of July, we’ve got weak east swell around 3ft to 4ft, but it’s short-period stuff at 7 seconds, and the cross-shore wind is already making it a lumpy mess. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (104 to 146). By Wednesday the 29th, the swell bumps up to 6ft to 6ft, still from the east, 8-second period, and the energy climbs to moderate (323 to 391). But that’s meaningless when you’ve got a fresh cross-breeze turning it into a washing machine. The same story repeats through Thursday and Friday, with the swell hitting 6ft to 6ft and energy peaking at 656 on Friday morning, but it’s all cross-on or cross, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” every single time.
The first weekend of August brings a drop in size – 4ft on Saturday, then 3ft to 3ft on Sunday, but the wind stays cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is weak again (102 to 190). Next week, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th see the swell shrink to 2ft to 4ft, with period dropping to 7 and even 5 seconds. The combined energy is barely registering (37 to 55). It’s dead.
Things try to pick up again around the 6th of August, with some 4ft east swell at 6 to 7 seconds, but the cross-wind is still there, and the energy is moderate at best (122 to 194). The week after, the swell builds to 5ft to 5ft on the 10th, and then we see a push to 7ft to 7ft from the east on the 11th and 12th of August, with stronger energy (507 to 630). But the wind is cross-onshore, the period is only 8 seconds, and the water is going to be chopped and bumpy. That’s not clean surf; that’s a grind.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, with the wind staying wrong and the swell direction coming from the east, which isn’t the optimum SE direction for this spot, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s simply no standout window. If you’ve got a board, save the wax for another week.
Rusty.
