The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty bleak run for La Nartelle on the whole. The pattern is clear: there’s next to no swell energy reaching this sheltered spot. The entire 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent surf. You’ll see a few tiny pulses of energy, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
Right now, we’re looking at a big fat nothing. The first few days are dead flat. Sunday morning (30th August) is glassy but there’s zero swell – the combined energy is a measly 0. That’s about as flat as it gets. The wind is light and variable, which is a shame because the conditions are perfect, but there’s simply nothing to ride.
We stay in a similar rut through the whole first week of September. Morning winds are often light and clean, but the swell charts are empty. The odd reading shows a tiny 0.7 ft pulse from the east-northeast, but with a period of just 2 to 4 seconds, it’s more of a ripple. The combined energy barely scratches double digits at best, with a high of 61 on the afternoon of the 5th from a 3 ft, 5-second northeast swell. That’s windswell mush and onshore, so it’s a hard pass. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From the 6th all the way through the 14th, it’s more of the same. The few tiny blips of energy, like a 1 ft, 3-second ENE swell on the 9th, are just too weak and short-period to be worth a paddle. The wind stays mostly light, and on the 13th morning we get a clean offshore from the west, but again, with no swell, it’s just a pretty picture. The only notable thing is that La Nartelle is a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area than a surprise. Honestly, the whole setup is more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now.
There are no standouts in this 16-day window. The best you could hope for is a tiny window on the 5th afternoon, but the onshore wind and weak swell make it a no-go. It’s just one of those stretches where you leave the boards in the car and go for a swim.
Rusty.

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.
