Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hotel Novotel over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at the next 16 days and I gotta tell you, there’s not a single moment in the forecast that’s worth getting excited about. The entire run is a total write-off.
From now through the end of the period on the 28th, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a solid two-week dry spell with no recommendations. It’s a long stretch of flat, messy, and uninspiring conditions.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is Hotel Novotel. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s fairly exposed to swell, but it just can’t catch a break this time. The wind is a constant problem, coming from the ESE and E, mostly as a cross or cross-onshore breeze at 12 to 16 mph. That’s a moderate breeze that’s just going to keep the surface chopped and messy. There’s no clean, glassy window in sight.
The swell is small, ranging from 3 ft to 5 ft, and it’s coming from the E or ESE with a short period of only 7-8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-driven stuff with very little energy behind it. The combined energy is weak too, mostly in the 100-200 range, with a couple of days in the 200s, but even then the quality is just garbage. The biggest day, the 24th, hits 615 on the energy scale, but the swell is still short-period and the wind is blowing cross-shore, so it’s just a bigger, messier mess.
There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no hope in the second week. It’s a flat, frustrating outlook. For an area with a fairly consistent spot like Hotel Novotel, this is unusual, but it’s what we’ve got. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’d be better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
