The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a proper blank run staring us down. For the first several days, right through until about the 19th, there’s just nothing happening. The ocean is flat, and the swell energy is sitting at zero (0). It’s the kind of quiet that makes you wonder if the sea forgot how to make waves.

The first glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 19th morning. It’s tiny, but something. We’re talking a meek 1ft of swell out of the ENE with a short period of just 3 seconds. The energy reading is a weak 3. By the afternoon, it picks up a touch to 2ft from the East with a 4-second period and energy of 13. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, at La Nartelle, a sheltered beginner spot, these are little more than knee-high bumps. It’s inconsistent here too, so you’ll be waiting a long while between sets. The water is sitting at a very unusual 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.

After that Sunday the 20th through Wednesday the 24th morning drops back off to near nothing again. Another gap. Then on Thursday the 24th, we see a whisper of swell return with 0.7ft from the ENE, energy at 1. By afternoon, a 1ft SE swell with a 4-second period and energy of 2 rolls in, but the wind goes cross-onshore and gets choppy.

Friday the 25th is when things get a bit more interesting, but not for paddling. The wind cranks up hard from the East at 28 mph in the morning and 22 mph in the afternoon. Swell pushes up to 3ft from the East with a 5-second period and energy hits 42. It’s full onshore and messy. For a sheltered beach setup, this is going to be blown out. This honestly looks way more like a day for the kite crew than for us.

The weekend of the 27th and 28th offers the best chance for a surf. On Sunday the 27th morning we have clean 2ft East swell with light cross-offshore winds from the NNW. The energy is a moderate 13. By Monday the 28th morning, it's 2ft from the East with a 5-second period and 23 energy, with glassy conditions and a light offshore. The afternoon sees swell hit 4ft from the East with a 5-second period and energy of 63. Winds are light cross-shore. La Nartelle is a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, and at over 4ft, this will be a fun, mushy little wave for the learners. Still inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes.

If I had to pick a standout, and it's a lean pick, I’d say Monday the 28th afternoon is the best of a quiet bunch. It’s the biggest swell, the cleanest conditions, and the most energy we’ll see. It's not pumping, but it’s something.

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.
