The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our local stretch.
To be straight with you, this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off for any kind of decent surf. You’ll be waiting from now all the way through, with nothing but flat, tiny dribbles. The first real sign of anything is a complete zero, and it doesn’t get much better. We’ve got a solid run of days with no worthwhile recommendations.
The only spot on the map is Nova Mar Bella. It’s a beginner-friendly breakwater, and it’s fairly consistent in terms of waves, but the problem is there just aren’t any waves.
The best we can scrape together is Thursday morning, July 30th. We’ve got a tiny 0.3ft bump from the east, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (3). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 81°F, with an anomaly of 3°F. The wind will be a light, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, you’re talking about barely a ripple on a lake. It’s just not surfable.
Thursday afternoon, July 30th, gets worse. The wind swings to the south-southwest at 12 mph, blowing straight onshore, making a mess of the 1ft of junk. Total energy climbs to (4), but it’s choppy and ugly.
Friday morning, July 31st, is flat, absolutely zero energy. The wind is light and cross-off, but there’s nothing to ride. Friday afternoon brings a tiny 0.3ft with a weak 2 energy, and a cross-onshore breeze.
Saturday, August 1st, has a glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. The afternoon is a small cross-onshore bump. Sunday, August 2nd, is the same story.
We see a slight uptick on Tuesday, August 4th, with a morning of 2ft from the east-northeast, period of 4 seconds, and a combined energy of (12). The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the period is so short it’ll just be a bumpy, weak mess. This is still a *no-go* for any real surfing.
The rest of the run is filled with zeros and tiny, onshore chop. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot like this, a long stretch of nothing is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a case of keeping the board in the shed and waiting for the next proper 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.
