The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the coast. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' tough. We're staring down a long, flat spell here at Nova Mar Bella. The forecast is a rough one for paddlers, to be honest.
The whole 16-day window is basically one big dry spell. From now until the 11th of August, there's just nothin' on the cards that's worth gettin' wet for. The swell energy is tiny – we're talkin' single-digit numbers (13 is the highest we see, and that's for a 2ft wave) and the periods are ultra-short, mostly 2 to 6 seconds. That's just wind chop, not real surf. The wind is all over the place too, mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy.
You'll see a few mornings with a glassy surface, like the 3rd of August, but those are on days with a 0.7ft or 1.0ft swell. There's just no push behind it. You'd be bobbing around more than riding. On the 5th of August, it goes completely flat for a few days, with zero energy. The swell does try to flicker back to life around the 7th of August, but it's still a tiny 1.0ft with a 2-second period, which is just a ripple.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For a break like this, which is a breakwater, a long stretch of nothing is a bit more normal. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but even beginners need a little push. Right now, there's no standout, no best day. The whole two weeks is a washout.
Keep your board in the car, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but this one's lookin' grim.
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.
