The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days around Nova Mar Bella are a tough stretch for surfers. The finder hasn’t given us a single recommendation, and the guidance shows only one break here. So, I’m not going to sugarcoat it: there’s nothing good on offer.
The whole 16-day window is a blank run. We’ve got small, weak energy and poor surf conditions across the board. The combined swell energy stays in the weak range, barely ever cracking double digits – at best we see a *27* reading on Wednesday the 26th, but that’s still tiny. The swell is mostly from the south or southeast, with periods of just 3 to 6 seconds – short-period, weak windswell that won’t hold up.
For a beginner-friendly breakwater like Nova Mar Bella, this is pretty normal. It’s a spot that needs a proper push, and without it, we’re looking at flat, glassy mornings and choppy afternoons. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The one tiny glimmer is on Sunday morning, September 6th, over a week away. We see a brief window of glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft SSE swell, period of 5 seconds, and energy of *17*. It’s clean, but honestly, it’s barely a ripple. Don’t get your hopes up.
If you’re a kite surfer, the moderate cross-shore and cross-onshore winds in the afternoons might catch your eye, but for paddle surfing, it’s a big no-go. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
