The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about La Nartelle.
We’ve got a long drought of surf ahead. The first real recommendation isn’t until Thursday, September 10th, so that’s about a 12-day stretch with nothing decent. Before that, from Saturday the 29th of August through Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s all flat days or tiny, weak bumps. Combined energy readings are mostly 0 or 1 – just no push.
On Thursday the 10th of September morning, we finally get a clean, glassy window. A tiny 1ft swell from the ENE with a 4-second period, energy a weak 4. But the wind is offshore (NNW at 5 km/h), so it’ll be tidy and smooth. The afternoon stays small at 1ft ENE, period up to 5 seconds, energy 7, but the wind swings SE cross-onshore at 15 km/h, making it bumpy. The morning is the one.
Friday the 11th is flat again.
Saturday the 12th of September brings a little more size but ugly conditions. Morning has a 1ft ENE swell at 3 seconds (energy 5) and a moderate cross-onshore breeze from 20 km/h – choppy and weak. The afternoon gets windier, 35 km/h from the east onshore, with the swell climbing to 3ft at 5 seconds from ENE. That’s moderate energy (47), but it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess. That’s more for kite or windsurf than a clean surf.
Sunday the 13th of September morning is glassy again – NW wind at 5 km/h – with a small 1ft ESE swell at 5 seconds (energy 12). Clean for the tiniest wave.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
Your best bet is definitely Thursday 10th September morning. It’s not much, but glassy offshore conditions on a clean little wave – that’s as good as it gets in this run.
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.
