The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for La Nartelle over the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. I've been staring at the charts, and it's a real desert out there. We've got a long stretch of flat, poor conditions, so don't be expecting to get wet for a while.
The first glimmer of any surfable energy shows up on the morning of Thursday, the 27th of August. We're looking at a weak, short-period swell from the East, pushing in at about 4 ft. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph, so it's going to be a bit choppy and messy. Honestly, the wave energy is pretty low (71), and it's a short period, so the waves will be fat and weak. This is a beginner-friendly break, but the conditions aren't doing it any favours. The water is a warm 81° – that's a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual and feels like bathwater.
The afternoon of the 27th pushes a little more energy (132) with a similar East swell, but the wind picks up to 19 mph onshore, making it a real battle. This is looking more like a kiteboarder's session than a paddle surfer's joy.
We get a tiny window on Friday morning, the 28th of August. The swell drops to 2 ft from the South, but the wind goes glassy. The energy is low (34), but if you're desperate for a splash on a foamie, you might catch a few tiny, clean rollers. It won't be anything to write home about.
After that, it's a whole lot of nothing. The wind goes offshore from the West on the 29th and 30th, but the swell completely disappears. The weekend of the 30th and 31st is flat with clean offshore winds – great for a swim, terrible for a surf.
The second week doesn't bring any relief. We see some strong offshore winds (up to 25 mph) on the 5th and 6th of September, but again, the swell is non-existent or tiny. The wind is so strong it would be near impossible to paddle into the few ripples that show up. The rest of the week is a ghost town of flat water.
So, to be brutally honest, there's no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a few small, clean waves on the morning of the 28th of August, but it's a real long shot for a proper surf. This is a bleak run for La Nartelle; just one of those periods where the ocean takes a break.
Rusty.
