The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: the next couple of weeks for La Nartelle are looking pretty tough. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands, so if you’re itching to get wet, you’re going to need some patience.
First up, from Tuesday the 28th of July right through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, it’s basically a flat spell. The water is a warm 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but there’s just no energy to work with. The swell is either non-existent or tiny, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy. The combined swell energy sits at a measly 1 (1), so it’s not worth paddling out for.
We finally see a little pulse of life on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning brings a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ENE with a period of 4 seconds, and we get a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is still rock bottom at 1 (1), but it’s clean. The afternoon picks up a touch to 1.0ft from the ENE, still with a clean cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy bumps up to 6 (6). It’s not surfable in any meaningful way, but it’s the first sign of life.
Sunday the 9th of August is the best of a bad bunch. The morning is glassy with a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the energy is only 8 (8). The afternoon gets a bit bigger with 2ft from the same ESE direction, but the period is still short at 4 seconds. The wind goes cross-shore, creating a little chop. It’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but it’s still weak, with combined energy at 16 (16). For a beginner spot, this is the only window where you might catch a tiny, weak wave, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
After that, the 10th and 11th of August are all offshore wind – strong, clean offshore wind – but the swell completely dies again. The 12th of August brings a small 2ft swell from the south with a 6-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze in the morning, giving us a combined energy of 22 (22). Still tiny, but it’s the last flicker of hope.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is the afternoon of the 9th of August, with that 2ft ESE swell, but it’s weak and short-period. La Nartelle is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of a blank run for the area. Don’t stress, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and the forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the charts.
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.
