Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Nartelle over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with ya – the next 16 days at La Nartelle are a proper flat spell. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for, not a single standout session in the whole window. The first real bit of energy doesn’t even show up till Saturday the 11th, and even then, it’s a sad 3ft of easterly windswell with a measly 5-second period and a weak combined energy of just 45 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind that afternoon is onshore and bumpy, so it’s a write-off.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing. From now through to Friday morning, July 9th, it’s flat or tiny with poor conditions. Then Saturday the 11th brings that tiny bump, but it’s not worth your time. After that, Sunday the 12th morning has a little 3ft easterly swell (period 5s, energy 34), but with a light cross-onshore breeze, it’s just messy. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are back to near-zero, with Tuesday morning going glassy but completely flat.
The rest of the week stays tiny, with a few little kicks of 1ft to 2ft from the south or east, but the period is short (3-6 seconds) and the energy stays in the doldrums (under 20). Even when the wind swings offshore on Friday the 17th and again on Thursday the 23rd, there’s no swell to ride – just clean, empty water. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly to talk about.
This break is a sheltered beginner spot, which is part of the problem – it needs a proper easterly swell to light up, and it’s just not getting it. For a stretch like this, a blank run is pretty normal for the area. The setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if any breeze picks up, but for us wave hunters, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
