The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. La Nartelle is the only spot on the radar, and it’s a sheltered, beginner-friendly setup that’s usually pretty inconsistent. Right now, we’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple.
Starting now, Monday the 27th of July, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ENE, with a super short period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 1 (1). That’s barely a bump. Light cross-offshore wind in the morning cleans it up a bit, but it’s still poor surf. It’s the same story into the afternoon and through Tuesday, with a touch more size but still onshore wind making it messy.
Then from Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s pretty much flat. The guidance shows no swell height at all. The mornings are glassy or clean with light offshore breezes, so it’s beautiful to look at, but there’s nothing to ride. This is a gap of over a week with no real surf on offer.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes on Monday the 10th of August. We get a 0.7ft swell from the south, still with a 3 second period and weak energy (1 to 2). It’s still poor. The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August is glassy, with that same tiny 0.7ft south swell, but it’s so small and weak it’s barely worth paddling out for.
Honestly, for a sheltered spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, ‘cause it tends not to stay this flat forever. But right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
