The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty. I’ve looked at the 16-day picture for La Nartelle, and I’m not gonna lie—this is a tough stretch for us surfers. The ocean is pretty much flat for nearly the whole run, and the few tiny bumps that show up are so small you’d be better off floating on a pool toy. Let me walk you through it.
The first chance comes on Saturday 25 July. Saturday morning sees a tiny 0.7ft swell from the east, with a short period of 4 seconds—barely a ripple. The wind is cross-onshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s not clean. The combined energy is a weak 1. Saturday afternoon is worse: 2ft from the east, but with a period of only 3 seconds and a direct onshore wind from the east at 12 mph, making for messy, choppy conditions. Energy is 8 (weak). Not a standout.
Sunday 26 July: morning brings a tiny 1ft southerly swell, 4-second period, with a cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph—cleaner but still tiny. Energy is 5 (weak). The afternoon offers a 1ft swell from the SSE, period of 6 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 16 mph. That’s the best-looking window in the whole 16 days, but the swell is still only 1ft. It’s a clean, glassy-feeling afternoon, but you’ll be scratching for any wave worth riding.
From Monday 27 July all the way through Saturday 9 August, the swell drops to zero or near-zero for days on end. There’s a long stretch of nothing—most of the second week, honestly, is a dead flat ocean. On Friday 7 August afternoon, there’s a whisper of 0.3ft from the southeast, period 5 seconds, energy 1—but that’s not even a wave. Saturday 8 August afternoon shows 0.7ft from the east-northeast, period 5 seconds, energy 2. And Sunday 9 August afternoon has 1ft from the east, period 3 seconds, energy 1. All of these are tiny, weak, and not worth getting excited about.
The water temperature at La Nartelle is a warm 82°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual. You’ll be swimming in bathwater, but there’s nothing to ride.
The only break on offer is La Nartelle, a beginner-friendly spot that’s sheltered and inconsistent. It rarely breaks with any real size. If you’re a beginner wanting to learn on a foamie in tiny, clean conditions, Sunday 26 July afternoon is your best bet—but it’s not a standout for anyone with experience. The outlook is poor, and honestly, this area looks more interesting for a swim than a surf right now.
That’s the truth of it. Stay patient, and check back in a few days—forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is on holiday.
Rusty.
