The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m gonna be honest with you – this stretch is a flat spell for La Nartelle. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer, with no real swell to speak of. We kick off on Wednesday, July 22nd, but it’s not a surf day. The water is a balmy 82°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only headline.
The first few days are all about tiny, weak waves. You’ll see a few ripples on the 22nd afternoon with a 2ft easterly windswell, but the wind is a cross-on from the SE at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is a measly 15, so don’t bother paddling out. Thursday the 23rd morning is glassy clean with a light NNW breeze, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the east – basically a lake. The energy is just 1. It’s the same story all the way through the end of the month: tiny, short-period windswell with poor conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things lumpy. The morning of the 31st of July and the 3rd of August are glassy, but with zero swell, it’s strictly a swim day.
We finally see a tiny pulse on the 4th of August afternoon, with a 2ft easterly swell, but it’s onshore wind and the energy is still only 15 – not worth a session. The best we get is the 5th of August morning, with a 2ft east swell, light cross-off wind from the NNE, and the energy nudging up to 23. It’s weak, but it’s the cleanest wave of the whole run. The afternoon of the 5th sees a bump to 4ft from the east, but the wind is cross-on from the ESE, making it choppy. The energy hits 75, but it’s still a poor quality affair.
The last day, the 6th of August, goes flat again. Look, it’s a drought. Don’t hold your breath. The breaks are inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is just a blank stretch. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
