The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight — there’s nothing to get excited about for the next 16 days. Honestly, it’s a flat, messy run with no real surf on offer. The only spot that pops up is Hotel Novotel, a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent but it’s just not doing anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, Thursday morning at Hotel Novotel, you’ve got tiny 1 ft of swell from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is weak at 53, and with a cross-on breeze from the SE at 9 mph, it’s choppy and poor. That sets the tone for the whole stretch.
Thursday afternoon and into Friday the swell bumps up a bit, hitting 2 ft to 3 ft, but the period stays short and the wind stays cross or cross-on. Energy ticks up into the low 100s, but surf conditions are still listed as poor. Saturday and Sunday mornings are similar — 3 ft, short period, cross-on wind, and poor quality.
Through the first week it’s a rinse and repeat. Monday through Wednesday of next week, the swell climbs to 4 ft to even 7 ft by Wednesday morning, but the wind stays cross or cross-on at 12 to 16 mph. The combined energy gets up into the 700s on Wednesday, but with that wind and short period, it’s still a messy, choppy mess. That 7 ft swell is bigger, but with short period and onshore chop, it’s not ideal for beginners and it’s not clean enough for anyone else.
The second week runs the same story. Swells hover between 2 ft and 5 ft, period stays 7–9 seconds, and the wind never lets up — always from the ESE or E, cross or cross-on. The combined energy fluctuates between 100 and 250, but every entry says “poor surf conditions.” No standout days, no clean windows.
Honestly, there’s no recommendation here. If you’re desperate, maybe Hotel Novotel on a day when the wind is lighter — like Sunday the 13th afternoon with just 6 mph cross-shore — you might get a few weak knee-high waves. But even then, the swell is only 3 ft with a short period. For kite surfing, those bigger, windier days in the second week might look more interesting than for paddle surfing.
So it’s a blank run. Not unusual for this area — sometimes the ocean just takes a break. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to chase.
