The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for this stretch of coast. We’re looking at La Nartelle, and I gotta tell ya straight—there’s not a single good surf session in the whole 16-day window. That’s a long, quiet stretch. We’ve got flat spells and bad wind galore, so don’t bother rushing to the water. Forecasts can change, but right now, this run is dead.
The first few days are a total loss. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are small, weak, short-period junk with onshore winds—just a messy 3 ft to 4 ft of east swell, but the wind is either cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and ugly. The combined energy is weak, only 42 to 93, so there’s no power. Saturday the 29th turns offshore and clean, but the swell tanks to a pitiful 0.7 ft—basically flat. Same story all the way through the first week of September. Sunday the 30th, Monday the 31st, Tuesday the 1st, Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, Friday the 4th, Saturday the 5th, and Sunday the 6th are all either flat or tiny, with the occasional 0.7 ft to 2 ft bump that’s not worth paddling for. The energy is next to nothing, with values like 1, 4, or 15.
Then we get a little tease. On Thursday the 10th of September, the swell finally shows up. Morning brings a 6 ft east-northeast swell with a period of 6 seconds, and offshore wind from the west. The combined energy hits 251 (moderate). That’s surfable, but it’s still pretty ordinary—short period, so the waves will be a bit lumpy and close together. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 10 ft, period still 7 seconds, energy up to 980 (strong). That’s big, but it’s also right on the edge for experts only—over 8 ft is serious. The wind stays offshore, so it’ll be clean, but that short period makes it dumpy and fast. This is the only real window of swell, and it’s not great quality. The morning of Friday the 11th drops back to 4 ft from the south with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but again, the energy is only 121 and the waves are just mediocre.
So, here’s the deal: there’s nothing to get stoked about for two full weeks. The only swell that shows up, on the 10th, is a short-period, powerful groundswell that’s really only for the experts. For the rest of us, it’s a good time to catch up on sleep or fix the dings. The surf just isn’t happening.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
