The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. I've had a good look at the next 16 days for La Nartelle, and I've got to be straight with you—it's a pretty grim run. The water is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual, but that's about the only notable thing happening. There's simply no decent surf on the table.
We do start with a bit of a tease on Thursday the 27th of August, with some weak east swell pushing in around 3ft to 4ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is onshore and choppy. The combined energy is a feeble 43, so there's no power here. The score is a zero, and it's poor surf. That's as good as it gets.
From Friday the 28th onward, it's a wasteland. We have a solid gap of days where the swell flatlines completely. Friday the 28th sees tiny, weak waves with a 4-second period and energy down to 23. Then from Saturday the 29th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there's literally no surf at all. The wind does swing offshore a few times, especially on Saturday the 29th with a fresh 19 mph offshore from the WNW, and a few glassy mornings like Monday the 7th of September, but with zero swell, it's just a flat, clean ocean. Not a paddle.
We get a tiny blip on Wednesday the 9th of September with a 3ft east swell, 5-second period, and energy of 34, but it's cross-shore and pretty poor. The score is still zero. After that, it's back to flat again. The last few days show a few clean, cross-offshore mornings, but again, no wave height to speak of.
Overall, this is a blank run. La Nartelle is a sheltered spot, and when it's this quiet, it's a waiting game. There's nothing here for a surfer, and honestly, with the strong offshore winds and no swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the foreseeable future. Don't hold your breath.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
