The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at what’s on offer for La Nartelle over the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This is a sheltered beginner spot, and the swell just isn’t showing up. We’re looking at a long, blank run with no surf worthy of a paddle. For a spot like this, especially with its inconsistent nature, a run of flat days like this isn’t that unusual, but it’s still a bummer. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a pretty big anomaly, over two and a half degrees above average.
The only real blip of energy comes on Thursday the 10th of September. Saturday morning the 10th sees a weak pulse from the ENE, with a combined swell energy of (189) and a 5ft swell. That’s about the top end of what’s manageable here, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t have much push. The real killer is the wind though – it’s onshore from the east, which will chop it right up. It’s a poor surf condition. The afternoon has a smaller 3ft swell with the same onshore wind, energy drops to (95), and we even get some rain showers. Not a day to get excited about.
The rest of the outlook? A whole lot of nothing. We’ve got multiple days with zeros for swell energy and "poor surf conditions" stamped all over them. There are a few windows with glassy or offshore winds – like Sunday morning the 30th of August with a glassy NNW breeze, or Tuesday morning the 8th of September with a clean cross-offshore – but without any swell, that’s just a flat, pretty ocean. Even the stronger cross-offshore winds later in the run, like on Wednesday the 9th of September with a 22 mph WNW breeze, can’t make up for the lack of waves.
So, my honest call? There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. This is a 16-day dry spell. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this flat forever, and forecasts can shift. For now, maybe grab a snorkel or a book.
Rusty.
