The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the local stretch.
Honestly, it’s a tough outlook for the next fortnight and a half. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with hardly any punch. The first real chance of anything worthwhile doesn't roll in until Monday, September 7th, so you’re looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks of flat to tiny conditions.
Nova Mar Bella is the only game in town, and it’s a breakwater, so it's not exactly a natural reef or point. For the next week and a half, it's all about knee-high dribble. The combined swell energy is pitiful, mostly single digits (like 6, 4, 1, 3) – it's just not got any grunt. The water is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The first few days, like Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th, are glassy in the mornings but with onshore winds kicking in by afternoon, ruining any chance of a clean ride. Wednesday 26th morning is glassy, but the swell is tiny (0.5ft from the ESE). The pattern repeats: glassy mornings, choppy afternoons, zero wave energy.
The weekend of the 30th and 31st is dead flat – 0.7ft and 0.3ft with glassy conditions. It’s a lake out there. The first week of September is more of the same: tiny, weak, and uninspiring.
Now, the standout window. It’s a long way off, but Monday, September 7th, morning session is the only thing worth circling on the calendar. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSE, but it’s short period at 4 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit weak and crumbly. The wind is offshore from the WSW, keeping it clean, and the combined energy jumps to 49 (moderate). It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The rest of that day fades, and Tuesday 8th is glassy but tiny again.
So, you’re waiting nearly two weeks for a brief, mediocre window. Keep your expectations very low.
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.
