The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight. It’s been flat and it’s staying flat for a while at La Nartelle. The water’s at 26°, which is about 5° warmer than it should be – that’s seriously unusual for this time of year. But there’s no surf to go with it.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing. From now all the way through to the morning of Thursday, September 18th, there’s zero swell. That’s a full week of flatness.
On Friday, September 18th, we get a little tease. The morning shows 0.2m from the ENE, 4-second period, energy of 1. It’s clean with a cross-offshore wind, but there’s no push. The afternoon gets a little bigger at 0.5m from the E, 4-second period, energy of 7. Still tiny and choppy with a cross-onshore breeze. Not worth suiting up for.
Then it goes flat again until the afternoon of Wednesday, September 23rd. That afternoon gives us 0.9m from the E, 5-second period, energy of 38. But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s messy.
Thursday, September 24th stays small: 0.5m to 0.6m from the E, 4 to 5-second periods, energy between 10 and 15. Mornings are clean, afternoons get choppy.
Friday, September 25th and Saturday, September 26th are flat again, with Saturday afternoon showing a tiny 0.8m, 4-second E swell with energy of 21. Clean with a cross-offshore, but still small.
The one real highlight is Sunday, September 27th morning. That’s where we finally get some size: 1.5m from the E, 6-second period, and energy of 279 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is a strong cross-offshore from the WNW at 20 km/h, so the waves should be clean. That’s the best window in the whole outlook, but it’s more than a week and a half away, so take it with a grain of salt.
Monday, September 28th drops back to 0.2m-0.3m, glassy in the morning and clean in the afternoon, but basically flat again.
So the takeaway is: a lot of flat, and one decent morning on the 27th. If you’re patient, that Sunday could be your day.

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.
