The Lowdown
Alright, let's get a look at the numbers. I'll level with you: it's been a long, flat stretch, and the outlook doesn't promise much excitement for a while. The data shows a whole lot of days with "poor surf conditions" and scores that aren't worth mentioning. There's a big dead spot right at the start, a gap that runs from now, all through the first week of September, with not a single recommendation. Only a tiny whisper of energy shows up around the 7th.
The only break on the board is La Nartelle. It's a sheltered spot for beginners, which is a good thing, because the swell we're getting is barely there. This break is *inconsistent*, so don't plan a trip around it.
Let's focus on the best of a quiet period. The morning of Monday, September 7th, is the pick. We've got a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the East, with a period around 6 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate at (60) – nothing special, but it's the biggest we'll see. The big win is the wind: glassy. Dead calm, with offshore light airs. For a sheltered beginner spot, that means the surface will be like a mirror. Perfect for learning or just cruising on a clean little wave. The water temp is a very warm 79°, which is running about 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a real anomaly. No need for more than boardshorts or a spring suit.
The afternoon of the same day turns choppy as the wind comes onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, turning that glassy surface into bumpy mush. By the 8th, it's back to flat. Then, on the morning of September 12th, there's another little blip with 1ft from the ENE and clean offshore winds from the NNW. The combined energy is a measly (3), but if you're really itching to get wet and just want to feel your board on a clean, tiny wave, it's an option.
Honestly, the only standout is that Monday morning, the 7th. It's the one time everything comes together for clean, rideable waves at La Nartelle. Don't expect power; expect a glassy pond with a gentle push. For the rest of the two weeks, you're better off waiting for a new forecast.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
