The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've stared at the charts for La Nartelle and I've got to be straight with you—there's not a single decent wave in the entire 16-day window. The forecast shows only tiny, weak swell with periods barely above 3 seconds, and the combined energy is practically zero (0–55). It's a quiet run for this sheltered spot, and while it's frustrating, a blank spell like this isn't out of the ordinary around here.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday the 1st through Wednesday the 16th of September is a total write-off. The only time you'll see any real height is on the afternoon of Monday the 14th, when a measly 4ft of easterly swell rolls in, but with a period of just 5 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore, it's choppy and messy. A few other days cough up 0.7ft to 2ft of east or southeast swell, but the period never gets over 6 seconds, so it's weak and gutless.

The winds are actually light and often glassy or offshore through the mornings, which would be magic if there was any swell to work with. But the reality is, there's just nothing to ride. If you're desperate, the setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the onshore kicks in, but for a proper surf, you're better off waiting for a change in the pattern.

The few mornings with glassy conditions and no swell are a cruel tease. La Nartelle is a beginner-friendly, inconsistent, sheltered break that needs an easterly swell direction to work, and it's just not getting any love from the ocean this fortnight.

Rusty.

Information about the La Nartelle Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for La Nartelle provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Nartelle 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 (La Nartelle) 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 La Nartelle 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.
