The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Nova Mar Bella.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a real struggle. We’ve got a run of weak, tiny, or non-existent swell, and the few windows that look half-decent are let down by the wrong wind directions or just not enough energy. The water is sitting at 80° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start off with a blank run. From Sunday 19th July right through to the early hours of Saturday 1st August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is a flat zero for most of that, and when there is a blip, it’s undersized and messy. That’s a solid 12 days of waiting.
The first sign of life creeps in on Saturday 1st August morning. The wind is glassy, and we might see a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a short 3 seconds. It’s not going to peel, just a bit of wobble. The combined swell energy is a weak (1). That morning is the only real chance for a clean, glassy session, but it’s for total beginners looking to get wet on a foamie.
The pattern doesn’t improve much after that. Sunday 2nd August morning is glassy again, but the swell is missing entirely. Monday 3rd August morning brings a bit of cross-off wind and a 0.7ft easterly swell, but again, no power. The afternoon picks up a 1ft easterly swell, but the wind swings to a moderate cross-shore, making it bumpy.
Honestly, the standout here is the Saturday 1st August morning. It’s glassy, the water is pleasant, and if you’re a beginner just wanting to float around on a small board, it’s the pick of a very poor bunch. For anyone else, it’s a flat spell. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, this is a tough run for Nova Mar Bella.
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.
