The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for La Nartelle.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty grim picture for the next 16 days. There's not a single recommendation in the whole 16-day window. The water is sitting at a very unusual 80°F, which is about 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a serious anomaly.
For the first week, from the 10th right through to the 17th of September, the ocean is basically a lake. There's no swell energy to speak of (0 energy units). The winds are light, sometimes glassy, but with no waves to push around, it doesn't matter. You'd be better off swimming.
There's a tiny blip on the 17th of September in the afternoon, with a 1 ft swell from the ENE, a period of 6 seconds, and a combined energy of just 10. That's weak, weak stuff. It comes with a 16 mph cross-offshore wind, but the wave height is barely a ripple. It's still a poor surf condition.
The second week is more of the same. A few tiny pulses appear around the 21st and 22nd of September – a 2 ft swell from the NE with a 4-second period (8 energy units), and a 2 ft swell from the E with a 5-second period (20 energy units). The winds are clean, but these are just ankle-biters. The swell height is too small for any real surfing, and the period is too short to hold up.
So, to put it bluntly: there's nothing to chase. This is a blank run for the area. The forecast can change, but for now, save your wax and wait for the next system.
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.
