The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you… this is a tough one.
We’re looking at La Nartelle, and to be honest, there’s barely a ripple on the radar for the next 16 days. The whole stretch from now through the end of September is a flat spell. Almost every day shows zero wave energy or tiny dribbles with wind and period all wrong. There is no standout option—nothing even close to a decent wave.
A little on the water: it’s sitting at 80° – that’s way warmer than normal for this time of year, over nine degrees above average. Nice for a swim, not for surf.
So, what’s on the menu? Basically nothing. The first two weeks are dead. A few mornings like Friday 13th and Tuesday 15th look glassy, but with no swell to speak of. On Saturday 26th morning there’s a trace of 2 ft from the east with glassy conditions, but it’s a 3-second windswell – weak energy (5) and barely breaking. It’s not surfable.
The rest of the window is just tiny wind ripples, onshore slop, or nothing. This is a real dry spell. If you’re desperate, maybe keep an eye on the tail end, Saturday 26th, for the cleanest small waves – but I wouldn’t get the board out of the car.
Nothing’s worth chasing here. This coastline just isn’t offering anything for surfers in this 16-day window.
Stay patient, buddy. The ocean will wake up eventually.

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.
