The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’ve had a proper look at the next 16 days for La Nartelle. I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook is about as flat as a pancake. There’s simply nothing worth paddling out for right now, and it’s going to stay that way for a while.
The first hint of any rideable wave energy doesn’t show up until Wednesday afternoon, the 9th of September, and even then it’s a sorry little 0.7ft S swell with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. The wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, which is clean, but with that tiny swell, it’s a flat day for the beginning. After that, we’re looking at a massive gap. From Thursday the 10th all the way through to Tuesday the 15th, the forecast is a bust – zero surf, poor conditions, onshore winds, and even a risk of thunderstorms. The models are showing nothing but zeros.
The next tiny blip of hope pops up on the afternoon of Tuesday the 16th of September? Nope, still nothing. The next real possibility is a 1ft swell from the east on the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of September, but with a period of 2 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze from the SE at 6 mph, it’s not worth a second look. The rest of the second week is a write-off too – mostly clear skies but onshore winds from the east and no swell to speak of.
La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. Unfortunately, this is one of those stretches where it’s just not happening. The guidance tells me the optimum swell direction is from the east, but the swell we do see is tiny and poorly aligned. There’s nothing here that’s even close to a standout. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s no consolation when you’re staring at a lake.
The combined energy figures are all in the single digits – weak, weak, weak. This is a proper flat spell, and it tends not to stay poor for long around here, but for now, if you’re set on surfing, you’re better off finding a different spot or just kicking back. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, to be honest.
Hang in there, and keep checking back. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’ve got nothing but bad news.
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.
