The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase – this forecast is a bummer. We've got a 16-day window, but there's nothing on the cards.
The bottom line: we're flat. The swell is a ghost. Most of the time, wave heights are zero, and when they do show up, it's tiny, short-period junk with no energy. All the combined energy numbers are below 100 (weak) – we're talking 1, 3, 5, and 13 – that's barely a bump.
First up, on Thursday morning, July 23rd, La Nartelle has a 0.7ft Easterly swell with a 4-second period. That's just wind chop. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, so it's clean, but at 0.7ft, it's a flat spell. The afternoon turns onshore and it's a total loss.
The rest of July and into August is a repeat. Friday morning the 24th is clean but flat. Saturday morning the 25th is glassy with a 0.7ft Easterly swell – perfect conditions for a pond. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
The closest thing to a wave comes on Monday afternoon, July 27th, when an easterly swell hits 2ft with a 4-second period. The combined energy creeps up to 13 (still weak), but the wind is a moderate onshore from the East at 12 mph. It's a choppy, blown-out mess.
On Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, there's a risk of thunderstorms and an onshore wind at 16 mph. The swell is 3ft from the East, but the period is still a pathetic 5 seconds. The combined energy is 34 (weak), but it's just lumpy, wind-affected slop. Not worth the paddle.
From July 30th all the way through to August 7th, the swell completely dies. There are a few glassy mornings, but no waves at all. The forecast ends on Friday morning, August 7th, with a flat, glassy ocean.
So, the best on offer? There isn't one. If you're desperate, Saturday morning, July 25th at La Nartelle is your best shot. It's glassy, and the swell is 0.7ft from the East. You might find a knee-high ripple if you sit and wait. That's the best we've got.
Because the swell is so small and the wind is light at a sheltered beach, this is more of a longboard or SUP cruise than a surf session. For kite surfers, there's nothing here.
This is a typical flat spell for the area. It happens. Don't sweat it – forecasts can turn, but right now, the board stays in the garage.
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.
