Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at La Nartelle.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a real dry run here. From now through to the end of the outlook, there’s just no rideable swell to speak of. The combined wave energy barely touches double digits most days, with the highest reading on Sunday the 12th morning being just 41 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s mostly tiny, weak wind ripples.
Friday the 10th kicks off with a tiny 0.7ft SSE windswell, period a poor 4 seconds, with a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s not surfable. Saturday the 11th sees a pathetic 1ft to 3ft of onshore slop from the east. Sunday the 12th morning actually looks the cleanest of the whole stretch – a 2ft ENE swell at 5 seconds with a light cross-offshore NNW breeze. It’s small and weak, but the wind would keep it clean. Still, it's not enough to get excited about.
From Monday the 13th morning through to Saturday the 25th, the swell completely vanishes for days at a time. There are long gaps where the height is a flat dash, meaning zero surf. You get the odd reading of 0.3ft to 0.7ft, but it’s all under 2ft and mostly onshore or cross-shore. A few mornings go glassy – like Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th – but there’s no swell to break. Even the offshore winds kicking up from Friday the 17th onward, gusting over 19 mph at times, just blow over flat water.
Because there is no real swell, there’s nothing to recommend. No standouts, no best options. The water temp is average for the time of year, not worth noting. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot anyway, and it’s inconsistent by nature, so a blank run like this is not unusual. If you’re desperate, the cleanest, most promising window is the Sunday 12th morning, but you’d be scratching for tiny waist-high lumps. For the rest, leave the board at home.

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.
