The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough watch for us at La Nartelle. The entire 16-day window looks pretty flat and uninspiring. There's a long stretch right from the start with hardly anything to get excited about. The water’s running unusually warm for this time of year, sitting at 82°F, which is a fair bit toastier than normal.
The first few days are a write-off. We're looking at Friday the 21st with tiny 1.3ft swell from the SE, weak energy (5), and morning rain. Not worth paddling out. Saturday and Sunday are just as small, if they even break at all. There's a big gap of days with no swell to speak of until we get towards the end of the month. The wind does swing offshore a few times, like on the 28th, but the swell is barely a ripple at 1ft with next to no energy (4). It’s clean, but there's nothing to ride.
Into the first week of September, there's a tiny pulse on the morning of the 2nd. A 1.6ft S swell with a 5-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is only 13, which is very weak. It might offer a couple of knee-high dribblers for a beginner on a log, but it's not really surf. The rest of the week is flat again.
So, the bottom line is we don't have any standouts. Not a single day in this outlook offers a good surf. It’s one of those flat spells that hits this sheltered stretch of coast. It won't stay this way forever, but for now, you're better off leaving the boards in the van and checking back in a few days.

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.
