The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk in feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew, lookin’ at Hotel Novotel. Honestly, partner, it’s a real dry spell. We’ve got a gap of about 8 days with no recommendations to start—from Friday, August 21st, all the way through Friday, August 28th, every single session is called poor surf. The wind’s mostly cross or cross-onshore, the water’s choppy, and there’s just no quality to be found.
The first time anything gets a pulse is Saturday, August 29th. Swell comes up to 8ft out of the E, with a 9-second period. Wave energy hits strong levels at 1157, so there’s some grunt. But the wind is cross-shore with a cross-chop, so it’s gonna be bumpy and take some work. Still, that’s your best—and really only—shot at something rideable. Sunday the 30th has a slightly smaller 7ft swell, same E direction, still plenty of energy at 1095, but still that choppy texture.
Then from Monday the 31st of August right through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s back to poor conditions across the board. So in the whole 16-day window, there’s no true standout. The water sits at a warm 85°F, which is normal for the season.
For the pick of the litter, I’d say Saturday the 29th morning—8ft from the east, but that’s expert-only territory at that size, and the chop will keep it raw. Not a week for the beginners or the clean-wave hunters. Rusty, out.

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.
