The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks here. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch for surf. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up for a while, so we’ve got a long gap of flat or junk conditions to sit through before anything even hints at a ride.
From now until the morning of August 19th, it’s a real desert. Day after day of no swell to speak of, with just light wind ripples or clean but flat water. There’s a couple of mornings with glassy conditions, but with zero wave energy, it’s just a pretty lake. The combined swell energy is sitting at zero (0) right through until late August, so don’t bother checking the buoys.
The first real flicker of hope shows up on the morning of August 19th at La Nartelle. We’re talking about a tiny little bump of 2ft from the ENE, with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not much push behind it. The combined energy is a weak 19. It’s an inconsistent spot, and it’s also sheltered, so it needs a lot to line up. The wind that morning is a light cross-offshore from the NW, which is clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. It’s really only for the absolute beginner just wanting to get the board wet, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The outlook doesn’t improve much after that. We get a tiny 1ft bump on the 21st with a 2-second period (energy of 1), and a 1ft on the 23rd with a 4-second period (energy of 5). Both are plagued by crummy cross-onshore or onshore winds, making them choppy and messy. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs. The area just isn’t seeing any decent swell energy in this 16-day window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s small comfort. Keep the board in the car, maybe check the kitesurfing forecast if you’re into that, because the paddle surfing side of things is a total write-off.
Rusty.

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.
