The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I’ve stared at the charts for Nova Mar Bella for the next 16 days, and it’s a hard truth: there’s nothing on the cards that’s worth getting wet for. Not a single decent wave in the whole window. The finder has no recommendations at all, and this run of flatness looks pretty locked in.
The story is the same all the way through. We start with a tiny pulse on Monday the 3rd—a shin-high 0.7ft of SSE windswell with a period of 4 seconds, bumpy and cross-shore. That’s the high point, which tells you everything. All week, we’re stuck with these micro-swings between E and SW directions, barely pushing past 2ft, with periods of 2 to 7 seconds. There’s no energy behind anything. The combined swell energy is pitiful—one or two digit numbers, like 2, 6, or 9, in brackets. It’s mostly less than 10, even hitting 0 for a couple of days in the middle of the month. Weak, inconsistent, and messy.
We do get some glassy mornings and some light offshore breezes, like the 5 km/h NW wind on Thursday the 6th and the calm on Saturday the 9th. But it doesn't matter when there’s zero swell to groom. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 81°, which is a small consolation, but the break is a breakwater setup facing south, so it needs that south swell that just isn’t coming. Despite the clean morning windows, it’s all just flat and glassy—a lake.
There’s a bit of a bump in the second week, on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. We’re looking at 2ft of ESE/SSE swell with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy creeps up to 19 and 20. But that’s still weak, and the periods are too short to do anything. It’s still likely to be a blown-out, low-quality mess. The 2ft is just enough to paddle around in, but the cross-shore wind on Tuesday will chop it up.
Honestly, this is a full 16-day wipeout. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, nothing. A blank run like this does happen for this spot, and when it’s this consistently flat, you’re better off doing something else. Forecasts can change, but the way this looks, you’re not missing a thing. When there’s zero swell and the wind is cross-on or onshore, this break is more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. I’d sit this one out.

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.
