The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Nova Mar Bella.
To be honest with ya, right now, we're looking at a pretty bleak picture. The water is a balmy 80° – that’s a full 4° warmer than what we’d normally expect for mid-September, which is a real standout in itself, but it’s not gonna help us get a wave.
The truth is, for the entire 16-day run, there’s nothing decent on the table. It’s a brutal stretch starting now and stretching all the way to the end of September. We’ve got a solid two-week gap here where you’re better off keeping the board in the car.
The swell energy is virtually non-existent, with combined energy readings often stuck at 1 or 2 (weak), and most of the time it’s flat with a zero. When we do see tiny pulses of swell, they’re from the SW or S, with periods under 8 seconds, which means weak, short-period windswell at best. The biggest we see is a tiny 2ft on the afternoon of the 18th of September from the ESE, but it’s coming with a 4-second period (weak) and a cross-onshore breeze, turning it into a dribbly mess. The morning of the 24th of September has a glassy 2ft from the E, but it’s still only 3 seconds of period, so no real push.
Don’t get sucked in by the glassy mornings or light offshore winds. When the swell is this small and weak, clean conditions just mean flat, clean water. On the 25th of September afternoon, when we get some ENE wind at 22 mph, it’s just going to be lumpy and blown out on that tiny energy.
This break is a breakwater setup, exposed to the south, and it needs a proper push from that direction. We’re just not getting it. The whole outlook is a no-go. Honestly, there isn’t a single stand-out day in the bunch. If you absolutely have to get wet, the glassy conditions with the smallest of swells might give you a wobbly knee-high roll, but that’s being generous.
This is a blank run, and for a spot like this in the Mediterranean, that's pretty normal. Forecasts can change, and sometimes you get a surprise, but right now, there's nothing to recommend.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
