The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
To be straight with you, this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run where the surf just isn't showing up. From Thursday the 13th of August right through to the end of the month, it’s almost a total blank. There’s no energy in the water, and what little does pop up is tiny, weak, and poorly directed.
The only break on the radar is La Nartelle. This spot is sheltered and inconsistent, so it really needs a specific swell direction to work. The optimum is from the east, and we do see a few hints of small easterly energy, but it’s all under 2ft with periods as short as 3 to 5 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits, maxing out at just 8 (eight) for the whole period. That’s about as weak as it gets.
Because La Nartelle is a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, this kind of flat spell is pretty normal here. There just isn’t enough to paddle for.
On the bright side, the winds do offer some clean windows. Plenty of mornings with light offshore or cross-off breezes, especially from the 17th through the 22nd. Those days would be glassy and clean if there were any waves. But there aren't.
Forget about any standout sessions. There is nothing to recommend. The best you can hope for is a tiny, knee-high dribble on Wednesday the 19th in the morning with a 0.7ft easterly swell, or maybe a 2ft on the 24th, but that comes with onshore wind and a storm risk. Not worth suiting up for.
This is a good time to check the gear, watch the forecasts, and wait for something real to show up. It tends not to stay this quiet forever.
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.
