The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks along this stretch of coast. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat out there for a long while. The first proper surf we see is a tiny blip, and even then, it’s barely worth getting wet for. The pattern is stubbornly quiet, with long, empty gaps where the ocean just doesn't deliver.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Friday afternoon, 31 July. Nova Mar Bella won’t be doing much though. We’re looking at a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSW. The period is a short, weak 3 seconds, so there’s no push behind it. The combined wave energy is a paltry 3 – that’s basically nothing. Wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SSW at 12 mph, which will put a bit of a chop on the surface. It’s not great. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, we drop back into a proper flat spell. Saturday 1 August starts with a glassy morning but only 0.7 ft of leftover bump. The rest of the day and the following week are dominated by flat conditions, with the odd tiny ripple that never rises above 2 ft – and that’s on Monday afternoon with a rough onshore wind. The energy levels are consistently in the single digits or low teens, which tells you the ocean is just not generating any power. There's a stretch of days from Sunday 2nd through to Friday 14th where the surf is so small it’s not worth a mention. You’ll be staring at a mirror.
The only other tiny flicker of something comes on Saturday 15 August morning. The swell is just 0.3 ft from the SE, period 4 seconds, and the energy is only 2. But the wind? Dead calm. Glassy as a lake. It’s still unfishable, but if you’re desperate for a meditation session on the water, the morning will be pretty.
Honestly, this is a tough outlook. The consistency is just not there. If you’re a kitesurfer, the stronger afternoon winds on some days might offer a bit of interest, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long, dry run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
