The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, switching over for those who think in feet and miles. The next couple of weeks around Hotel Novotel are looking pretty grim for a decent surf.
From Friday the 31st of July, we’ve got a weak, short-period east swell running about 5 feet, but the wind is cross and it’s all chopped up. The combined swell energy is weak at 291. Water temp is 84°, which is normal for this time of year. The whole first week is filled with cross and cross-onshore winds, and the swell never cleans up. By Tuesday the 4th of August, the swell drops to about 2 feet and the energy sinks to 65. It’s flat and ugly.
There’s a long dry spell. The only real, half-decent window shows up on Tuesday the 11th of August in the morning. The swell bumps to around 5 feet from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind switches to cross-offshore, giving us clean waves. The combined energy hits 294 – moderate but not epic. The call is “marginal,” so don’t expect perfection. This is the only standout in the whole 16 days. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, fairly consistent, but plan on sharing the water because crowds are common.
After that Tuesday morning, it’s back to poor surf with cross winds and chop through to Saturday the 15th of August. No other real highlights. If you’ve got the itch, the 11th morning is your chance, but keep your expectations in check.
Rusty.

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.
