The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Truth is, for the next sixteen days, it’s a flat spell, plain and simple. The only wave that’s even showing up on the cards is at Hotel Novotel, and it’s not one I’d be getting excited about.
From now right through to the 3rd of August, there’s nothing but sessions to skip. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, never truly offshore, and the swell is small, short-period stuff—mostly around 3ft to 5ft from the east and southeast, with periods around 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-driven junk, and the combined wave energy rarely gets above 300, often hanging around 100 to 200 (moderate energy at best). It’s a constant run of poor surf conditions, with only a few blips of “marginal” on the 20th of July afternoon. For a beginner spot like Hotel Novotel, the size is okay, but the chop and cross-shore wind will make it a messy, frustrating paddle. There’s no standout, no clean window—just a long stretch of average to poor.
It’s a tough run, and honestly, if you’re after a proper wave, you’d be better off waiting for the forecast to change. For now, the setup at Hotel Novotel with that consistent cross-shore wind and small, weak swell looks more like a kite session than a surf one. You’d be fighting the chop for nothing.
