The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's run through what's cooking for the next couple weeks. I'll be honest – there's zilch to report. From now all the way to August 2nd, La Nartelle is flat out. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, zero out of ten. No standouts, no sleeper sessions.
La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner break, inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes. But the swell is nonexistent – heights from 0.6 ft to 3 ft at best, periods 2 to 6 seconds. That's weak, short-period windswell. Combined wave energy? Negligible, highest is 66 on the 22nd afternoon – still weak.
Winds are often clean, plenty of offshore and cross-offshore mornings, but with no swell it's pointless. Water temp anomaly isn't given, so I can't say. Basically, there's no surf worth paddling for in the whole 16-day window. For a spot that's already inconsistent, a flat stretch like this is pretty normal. Could change, but for now? Leave the board in the shed.
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.
