The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s put this in feet and miles per hour for the imperial crew.
Looking at Hotel Novotel, it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got wave energy coming through, but the wind is the bad guy for almost the entire 16 days.
Starting Thursday August 27th, we’ve got a weak 4ft easterly swell with an 8-second period and a cross-shore breeze at 12 mph. The combined energy is weak (144) and conditions are poor. Not a good start.
Friday the 28th and through the weekend, the swell gets a little bigger, hitting 5ft on Friday afternoon with energy at 194, but the period stays short (7 seconds) and the wind is cross or cross-off. Saturday the 29th morning looks clean with 5ft easterly swell (energy 249), but it’s still called “poor.” Saturday afternoon gets the only non-zero score of the whole run – 1 out of 10 – with 4ft swell and clean wind, but it’s only “marginal.”
Sunday August 30th brings a 6ft easterly swell with a nice 11-second period, and strong energy (804). But that clean line is ruined by a cross-onshore wind at 12-15 mph making it choppy. For a beach break, that’s messy – honestly, that combo is more fun for kite surfing than paddling.
The first week of September is more of the same. Swell hangs between 2ft and 5ft, mostly from the east or east-southeast, with short periods of 7 to 9 seconds. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface ugly. But on Saturday September 5th afternoon, there’s a spike: a 6ft easterly groundswell with a very long 13-second period, and the energy jumps to 1060. The wind is a gentle cross-shore at 9 mph, so it’s “gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop.” It still rates as “marginal” only. That long-period east swell will hold up better on a point or reef, but here at a beach break, expect long lines and fat sections. Experienced surfers could find something, but it’s not a go-out-and-score-every-wave day.
The only two windows that even deserve a mention are Saturday August 29th afternoon for the cleanest marginal conditions, and Saturday September 5th afternoon for the biggest, longest-period groundswell. Everything else is poor surf conditions with choppy wind. It’s a lean stretch, buddy.
Rusty.
