Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Nartelle over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook for La Nartelle is a rough one. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions with next to no quality surf in the 16-day window. The first recommendation doesn’t come until the very end of the period, and even then it’s a marginal call.
For the first two weeks, from July 11th right through to July 24th, the swell is tiny to non-existent. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits, and most of the time it’s sitting at zero or a measly handful of points. The water temp is way warmer than usual for this time of year at 79°F, but that’s just about the only interesting thing happening. The set-up is sheltered and the swell is too weak and short-period to do anything. You’ll see a few glassy mornings, like Monday July 13th and Thursday July 16th, but there’s just no water moving. It’s a frustrating blank run, and for this area, that can happen.
The one and only tiny glimmer in this whole 16-day stretch comes on Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd. We finally see a pulse of east swell at 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 115, which is at least moderate, but it’s a short-period windswell. The afternoon wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the SSE, so it’ll be a bit choppy. This is the only time the swell height gets anywhere near surfable, but with that period and onshore wind, it’s not going to be a standout. It’s a poor surf conditions call the whole way.
Saturday July 25th morning brings a proper offshore wind from the west at 22 mph, but the swell is only 1ft. The afternoon gets even stronger offshore at 25 mph, with a 2ft east swell. The wind is strong offshore and clean, but it’s so strong it’s going to be hard to paddle into and the wave faces will be blown out. Not a good option for a paddle surfer.
Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a splash, the afternoon of July 22nd is your only chance for a waist-high, bumpy little wave. Otherwise, the board stays on the beach for a fortnight.

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.

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.
