Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming.
Honestly, we’re in for a tough stretch. Starting now, right through until early on the 11th of July, it’s flat or barely a ripple. Small, weak, short-period junk or nothing. The water is real warm – 24.8° – which is way hotter than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only story.
The first actual wave shows up on Saturday afternoon, the 11th of July. A tiny 2.6ft easterly swell at La Nartelle, but the wind is straight onshore from the east at 12 mph, so it’ll be a choppy mess. The energy is weak (29). Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 12th of July morning is a little cleaner. The swell is still small, around 2.3ft from the east, but the wind goes light and cross-shore from the north at 6 mph. The period is short, just 5 seconds, so the waves will be soft and weak. Fine for a beginner to get wet, but that’s it.
The best of the bunch, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning, the 15th of July. No surf, but glassy conditions with a dead calm north-northwest wind at 3 mph. The ocean will be like a sheet of glass. Great for a swim, but not a surfable wave in sight.
Friday morning, the 17th of July, offers a tiny 0.7ft southerly swell with a clean offshore breeze from the west-northwest at 6 mph. The energy is next to nothing (2), but if you’re on a longboard and real keen, the clean conditions might give you a fun little slide.
So, bottom line – we’re looking at a blank two weeks for the most part. Not much to get excited about. Keep the wax in the wrapper for now.

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.
