The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks, but I gotta be straight with you—it’s a rough stretch.
The outlook starts this Sunday morning, July 26th, but don’t get your hopes up. We’ve got a tiny bit of swell pushin’ in—1.0 ft from the south with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 6 (weak), and while the wind is a light cross-off at 6 mph, the conditions are just poor. That same afternoon barely improves: 1 ft from the SSE, period up to 6 seconds, and energy climbs to 14 (still weak). But the wind swings to 12 mph from the SW, still cross-off, and it’s just not enough to make anything worth paddlin’ out for.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Monday, July 27th, all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, there’s basically zero surf. The wave height reads as a dash, the energy is 0, and it’s just flat. A few mornings have glassy or clean conditions, but there’s nothin’ to ride. That’s a solid 13-day gap of nothing at the break.
The only faint glimmer shows up on Sunday, August 9th, in the morning. We get a tiny 0.7 ft from the south with a period of 4 seconds, energy of just 1 (weak). The wind goes glassy from the NNW at 3 mph, so the water will be like a mirror, but the swell is barely a ripple. It’s still marked as poor surf conditions. The afternoon picks up a touch to 1.0 ft from the SSE, period 5 seconds, energy 6, but it’s cross-on and it’s still not surfable.
Bottom line: this is a blank run for the area. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. We’ve got no standouts, no real waves to speak of in the whole 16-day window. For a beginner, it’s not worth the drive. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
