The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a real tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. The first sign of any surf shows up on the 17th of August down at La Nartelle, but even that’s a joke: a tiny 0.3ft swell from the south with a period of just 6 seconds and weak energy (2). That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. Before that, we’ve got a solid week plus of flat, clean conditions with no wave energy at all. Then from the 18th onward, it’s back to dead flat right through to the 26th of August. The water is sitting at 84°F – that’s far warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just keen for a swim, go for it. But for waves? There’s nothing. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s offering zero. The whole setup is a blank run for the area – not unusual, but still a bummer. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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. 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.
