The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at La Nartelle. I'm not gonna lie to you, it's a bit of a lean spell we're looking at. The swell window is pretty tight and the energy just isn't there for the most part.
We're kicking off with nothing worth paddling out for this Sunday morning, the 6th of September. A tiny 1ft from the ENE with a period of only 3 seconds means it's just bumpy, messy onshore slop. It's basically a write-off. That quiet theme continues right through the whole of the first week. We see a little spike of 2ft on the 10th but with an onshore wind and weak 4-second period on the Thursday afternoon, and a bit more size (2ft) on Friday the 11th, but that's pinned down by a 12 mph onshore breeze, making it a choppy mess. The quality is still zero.
Honestly, the whole first week is a bust. There are long gaps of several days here where you'd be wasting your time. The only tiny bit of hope is the odd clean morning with no swell. After that, the second week is more of the same. We get a glimpse of a little 1ft S swell on the Thursday afternoon, the 17th of September, with a 6-second period, but it's crossed up. The standout, if you can even call it that, would be the Thursday morning, the 17th of September. We've got a clean, glassy morning with a light offshore wind from the NNW. The swell is tiny at 0.7ft from the S, period of 7 seconds. It won't be big, but those clean conditions are the best we'll see. You might snag a tiny, clean little ankle-snapper. For the rest of the period, expect a lot of tiny, poor-quality surf with onshore winds. It looks more like a stretch for a paddle board or a swim than a surf. For a spot that is inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal.
Alright, keep your eyes on the horizon, things can always change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
