The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer along this stretch of coast.
Truth is, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for surfable waves. The energy just isn’t there, and the winds are mostly messy. Don’t get your hopes up for any standouts; there’s nothing that’s really going to get the heart racing.
We start off from Friday the 21st of August. Nova Mar Bella is seeing a tiny 3 ft swell from the SSW, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore 12 mph from the ESE, making it choppy and poor. The combined energy is weak (76). Over the next few days, the swell drops right off. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are both tiny, with Sunday morning seeing a glassy 1 ft, but it’s from the SE with a period of only 3 seconds—just wind slop. The water is a warm 83°F, which is about 4°F above normal for the time of year, so it’s notably warmer than usual.
The whole first week is a bust. The swell barely nudges above 2 ft, and when it does, like on Thursday the 27th of August with a 4 ft SSW swell, the wind is either howling at 22 mph from the WSW (which is clean but just too strong for a small wave) or the period is too short. The energy on that Thursday afternoon is getting up to 96, still weak. Then the next real bump is a full week away: Friday the 4th of September. We get a 3 ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a cross-onshore wind from the south at 6 mph, and the period is only 6 seconds. The energy is moderate at 69, but it’s still not a clean, rideable prospect.
Honestly, there’s nothing here I’d paddle out for. The whole period is a gap of no real surf. The only break we have is Nova Mar Bella, and it’s a breakwater setup that’s exposed to the south, but there’s just no quality swell arriving. The best of a bad bunch might be the glassy mornings, like Sunday the 23rd, Monday the 24th, or Saturday the 5th of September, but the swell is so tiny it’s barely a ripple. The long-range look into the second week is just as poor—tiny swells and onshore winds.
Forget the paddle board; this setup looks more interesting for a kite if the wind is up, but for a surfboard, it’s a blank run. This is normal for the area when the swell windows are closed.
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.
