The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks at Nova Mar Bella. This is a breakwater setup that’s exposed to the south, so it needs a specific kind of mojo to work, and we just ain’t gettin’ it.
The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of minimal to non-existent surf, with the first real glimmer of anything not showing up until the 23rd of August. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for. For most of the run, the energy is weak – we’re talking single-digit numbers (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is basically flat. The water is toasty though, about 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
The only flicker of hope comes on the morning of Sunday, the 23rd of August. We finally see a little bump of energy, with a combined energy of 51. The forecast shows a 3ft swell rolling in from the southeast, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak windswell, but the wind is offshore from the NNW, blowin’ at just 6 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean and glassy. It’s not a classic, but for a spot that’s been dead for two weeks, it’s the only game in town. The quality is still only “surfable but very ordinary,” so don’t expect any hero waves. For a beginner spot, this is about as good as it’s gonna get, and with it being a Sunday, you can expect crowds at this spot.
The afternoon of the 23rd sees the wind swing onshore, so if you’re gonna go, make it a dawn mission. That’s it. The only standout, and it’s a weak one. For the rest of the period, the wind is all over the shop, and the swell is just too small to do anything with. A few days on the 22nd show some cross-off wind, but the swell is either too tiny or completely absent.
It’s a tough one to call, but that’s the Mediterranean for you. The forecast can change, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
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.

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.
