The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: the 16-day window is looking pretty grim for La Nartelle. The vast majority of the time, we're looking at flat, clean conditions with no swell to speak of, or just a tiny bump that's not worth paddling out for. We're talking about a long, dry spell with almost no surfable energy.
The only real glimmer, and I mean a tiny one, shows up on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. We're looking at a tiny 0.7ft swell from the south, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is basically nothing. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at 3 mph, which keeps the surface clean. The water is a balmy 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. But honestly, with that swell size, it's barely a ripple. It's a beginner spot, but it's inconsistent, and with that tiny, weak energy, it's not going to be doing much.
Then, on Friday morning, August 7th, we get a slight bump. The swell pushes up to 1.0ft from the ENE, with a period of 3 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NW at 6 mph. The combined energy is still pathetic. The afternoon brings a tiny bit more energy, 1ft from the ENE at 4 seconds, but the wind swings to a light cross-onshore, putting a few ripples on it. Still, not really surfable.
After that, it's a ghost town. From the 8th of August right through to the 20th, the data shows zero swell, zero energy, and just flat, clean conditions or light onshore breezes. There's nothing on offer. No standouts, no best day. It's a complete blank run.
For an area like this, a dry spell of this length is more normal than you'd hope. It tends to be pretty inconsistent, so a run of flatness like this isn't a total shock. The setup doesn't look good for anything, not even for kite surfing, as the wind is mostly light.
So, my honest advice? Save your energy and the drive. Put the board away for a couple of weeks. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
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. 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.
