Alright, let me break this down for you.
Right now, there's nothing doing. We're looking at a stretch of flat, unfavourable conditions that runs all the way through from the 3rd of July out for a good long while. For the most part, the wind is a mess – onshore or cross-onshore from the ESE and SE, which just messes up any chance of a clean face. There are a few glassy mornings (like Sunday the 5th, Saturday the 11th, and Tuesday the 14th), but with zero swell on the table, all that glass is wasted.
Our only real spot to talk about here is La Nartelle (France). It's a sheltered, beginner-friendly beachie that needs an easterly swell to light up. Unfortunately, the entire 16-day window is a bust. The “combined energy of all swells directed here” barely even registers, with the highest reading being a pathetic 6 on the afternoon of the 17th of July, and even that's described as "poor surf conditions". The swell direction is mostly from the east, which is what it wants, but the height is stuck at a tiny 1ft and the period is short, often around 3 to 4 seconds. That's windswell at best – weak, crumbly, and lifeless.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that's not much comfort when there's nothing to ride.
There's a glimmer of something on the morning of the 18th of July – glassy conditions with an east wind, but the waves are still a paltry 0.7ft with a 5-second period. That's a lake, not a surf lineup.
Honestly, this is a blank run. For an inconsistent spot like La Nartelle, this sort of flat spell isn't uncommon. The setup looks more like a day for a paddleboard than a surfboard, and even then, you'd be hard-pressed. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there isn't a single standout session in this outlook. Keep the board on the rack.

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. If you surf the same spot (La Nartelle) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
