The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get real about this stretch. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for surf around here. We’ve got a long, dry spell on our hands, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent until the tail end of the period.

The whole forecast is basically a no-go zone from now through the start of September. There’s a few tiny bumps of swell, but we’re talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft at best, with swell periods of just 4 to 5 seconds – that’s weak, windswell junk. The water is sitting at 78°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than normal. But that warmth doesn’t help the waves.

We’ve got a massive gap of empty days. From now all the way through to the 10th of September, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is often offshore or glassy, but with no swell, it’s pointless. Come the 11th of September, Friday morning, La Nartelle finally shows a pulse. The swell builds to 4 ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 96 – weak stuff. The wind is glassy, which is a plus, but the waves are ordinary at best. The guidance rates La Nartelle as a beginner spot, inconsistent, and it’s sheltered from the easterly swell, so it’s not ideal. The optimum swell direction is from the east, so at least the direction is right, but the size is small and the period is short.

The afternoon of the 11th gets a bit more size – 5 ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 170, which is still moderate. But the wind swings south, cross-shore, and it’s poor conditions. Not a good call.

The 12th of September, Saturday morning, offers a similar story: 4 ft east swell, 6-second period, energy at 109, and clean offshore northwest wind. It’s the closest thing to a standout, but it’s still average. The afternoon gets messy with a southwest cross-offshore breeze.

After that, it drops back to tiny 0.7 ft on the 13th, and the outlook fizzles out.

If you’re desperate, the 11th or 12th of September mornings are your best bet, but don’t expect much. This spot is a beginner-friendly, inconsistent, sheltered break, and during this run, it’s just not performing. The blank run is normal for the area when the swell is this flat.

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.
