Alright, Rusty here again, thinkin’ in feet now.
First things first – this is a long dry spell. For almost the first 8 days, from July 4th through the 11th, it’s flat or just tiny bumpy junk. No real waves to speak of. The water at La Nartelle is 76°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal – that’s way off the usual. Feels more like bathwater than surf.
The first time we see anything that might be worth a paddle is Saturday, July 12th – and it ain’t pretty. The best we get all forecast is a weak 3ft swell from the E with a 5-second period on the morning of the 12th. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s bumpy. Energy is moderate at 45, but it’s not gonna hold a good shape.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is Thursday, July 17th morning. La Nartelle gets a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a 6-second period, and the wind goes light offshore from the WNW at about 6 mph. That’s clean, glassy-ish, but only about knee-high. Energy is just 13. It’s the cleanest wave of the whole 16 days. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a wave this small, it won’t be packed.
Saturday, July 12th morning sees the biggest number at 3ft from the E, but the wind is ENE at 16 mph cross-onshore, making it choppy and weak. Not worth the drive. Sunday, July 13th morning is smaller at 2ft from the S with a 6-second period and onshore ENE wind at 16 mph – poor.
Nothing here gets over 3ft, so it’s all safe for beginners if it were clean – but it almost never is. There’s no standout swell, no real power. The best we can say is the morning of July 17th offers a clean, tiny knee-high wave for a patient surfer. Otherwise, it’s a two-week flat spell with a couple of fleeting bumps. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a sit-on-the-beach-and-read-a-book kinda outlook.

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.
