The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking over the forecast for the 16 days ahead for La Nartelle.
Well, folks, I've gotta be straight with you—this is a tough outlook to write. We're looking at one of those long, dry spells where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball. There’s a massive gap of nothing but poor surf conditions stretching from now, the 9th of September, all the way through to the morning of the 21st of September. That's nearly two weeks of flat or tiny, junk surf. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be needing a wetsuit because you won't be getting wet.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one, arrives on Monday the 21st of September. The morning shows a touch of life with a 4ft swell coming from the east, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is still weak at (92). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface reasonably clean, but the forecast still calls it "very ordinary conditions." It might be just about surfable for a beginner on a longboard, but don't expect any magic. The afternoon of the 21st actually sees the swell jump to 7ft from the ENE, with energy climbing to (323), which is moderate. But the wind swings onshore from the SE, killing any chance of a decent wave. That 7ft is also getting a bit punchy for a beginner, and with cross-onshore wind, it'll be a messy, lumpy closeout.
Into Tuesday the 22nd of September morning, the swell drops back down to 3ft from the SSE, with a weak energy of (104). The magic word here is "glass"—the wind is nothing, absolutely glassy. The conditions will be clean, but the swell is tiny and weak. It's a morning for a paddle and a tan, not a proper surf.
Everything after that trails off again into poor surf right through to the end of the forecast on the 24th. There is no standout session in this entire window. The truth is, for La Nartelle, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. The setup is sheltered, and when the swell doesn't line up from the east, it just doesn't fire. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
