The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on the waves ahead for this patch of coast. Right now, it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing but a big fat zero on the energy scale for the first week-plus, with the combined energy of all swells directed here sitting at a sad `0` for most days. The first tiny pulse of life doesn’t even show up until Sunday the 2nd of August, and even then it’s just a pathetic `0.7ft` swell from the ENE with a period of only 3 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 82°F – that’s a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a crazy anomaly. You’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, or more likely, just in boardies.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – there’s nothing to get excited about for a long stretch. From now (Friday the 31st of July) through to the 9th of August, it’s a total desert. A few glassy mornings here and there, like Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, but with no swell to push through. The first real hint of hope comes on Monday the 10th of August. The morning at La Nartelle shows a combined energy of all swells directed here of `23` – still weak, but it’s something. You’ve got a `2ft` swell from the NE with a period of 4 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW. The water temp anomaly is still massive, but for the first time, we’ve got a wave that might actually break. It’s not a standout by any means – the period is short and the energy is feeble – but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it dries up again. The 11th and 12th of August see energy levels drop back to `1` or `0`. The real kicker comes on the 14th and 15th of August. Friday the 14th has a strong offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, and Saturday the 15th has a fresh offshore from the WNW at 16–19 mph. But there’s zero swell. Zilch. The combined energy is `0`. So you’ll have clean, glassy conditions with a stiff offshore breeze, but no waves to ride. That’s pure torture for a surfer.
If you’re desperate, the only window worth paddling for is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. It’s a poor surf conditions call, but it’s the only bump in a two-week flat spell. The rest of the time, the beach setup with those onshore winds and tiny swell will be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. But honestly, I’d be patient. The forecasts look like they’re about to change, and it never stays this flat for long.
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.

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.
