The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this stretch of coast is going to be a painful watch for the next two and a half weeks. The swell just isn’t showing up, and when it does, it’s tiny and blown out. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, through to the end of July, the wave energy is almost non-existent, with combined energy readings sitting at a pathetic 23 (weak) on the 14th, dropping to single digits for days on end. The first real flicker of life doesn’t come until Friday the 24th of July, and even then it’s barely a whisper. That morning at Nova Mar Bella, we get a bit of glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the east, but it’s a short period of 4 seconds, so it’ll be fat and weak. The combined energy hits 45 (weak), which is the best we’ll see, but it’s still not enough to get excited about. The water’s running at 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the second week is more of the same – tiny, weak pulses from the south and southeast, mostly blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. Saturday the 25th has a glassy morning but the swell is only 2ft, and the afternoon picks up a bit to 3ft, but the wind swings onshore and chops it up. The energy reading on Saturday afternoon hits 52 (weak), still pitiful. After that, it’s back to tiny waves and messy wind. Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon seabreezes on the 25th and 26th might give you something to work with, but for a paddle surfer, keep the board in the car.

Information about the Nova Mar Bella Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nova Mar Bella provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nova Mar Bella can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nova Mar Bella 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 (Nova Mar Bella) 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 Nova Mar Bella 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.
