The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The opening days are pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. For the first week and a half, from July 14th through to about July 24th, the surf is just not happening. The swell energy is laughable, mostly under 20, and when there is a tiny bump, the wind is all over the shop – cross-onshore or just messy. You’d be better off finding a swimming pool.
The water temp at La Nartelle is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s like bathwater, but there’s no surf to enjoy it.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the very end of the run. On Wednesday the 29th of July, we finally see a pulse of energy. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s something. The afternoon brings a 2ft easterly swell, with a period of 4 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell stuff, but combined energy climbs to 21, which is at least a step up from the zeros. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the ESE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but at least it’s rideable for a beginner. Look, this is the only show in town, so if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few knee-to-waist high waves, that’s your window. Don’t expect much, but it’s better than staring at flat water.
Honestly, this is a classic example of a summer flat spell. For a sheltered spot like La Nartelle, it’s frustratingly common. The forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on it, but for now, the outlook is pretty grim.
Rusty.

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.
