The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the region. The first surfable day isn’t until the 20th of July, and even then it’s only a tiny blip. There’s a big gap of nothing before that, and then the whole forecast stays flat and weak. It’s one of those patches where you’re better off keeping the board in the shed and doing something else.
Let’s start with the first real window. On Monday, the 20th of July, a tiny 0.3ft to 1ft swell from the east-northeast turns up, but the wind is cross-onshore and the wave energy is just 4 to 5. That’s barely a bump. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Don’t get excited.
The 21st of July Tuesday afternoon sees a bit more energy – 2ft from the east, period around 4 seconds, and combined energy of 18 – but it’s onshore at 25 km/h, so it’s messy and not worth the paddle.
Then we get a little spike on the 22nd of July Wednesday afternoon: 3ft from the east, 5-second period, and energy hitting 53. Still onshore, though, and the break is La Nartelle, which is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent. For a beginner, it might be a sloppy session, but for anyone else, it’s a pass.
The 24th of July Friday morning actually has clean conditions – light offshore wind from the northwest – with 2ft from the east, 5-second period, and energy of 12. That’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s tiny and inconsistent. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have it to yourself.
The 30th of July Thursday morning has a clean 2ft from the east, 4-second period, energy of 17, and light offshore wind. The afternoon gets a bit bigger – 4ft from the east, 5-second period, energy of 63 – but winds go cross-shore, so it’s choppy. Still, for an inconsistent spot, that’s about as good as it gets.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The swell never gets above 4ft, periods are short, and the energy is weak. The whole 16-day run is a flat spell. When it’s this poor, forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a write-off. I’d keep an eye on the 30th of July for a possible clean-ish morning if you’re desperate.
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.
