Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for La Nartelle. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell with very little to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid run of days with nothing rideable, so don’t bother paddling out unless you just want a swim.
Right off the bat, from Sunday the 5th of July through to Saturday the 12th, it’s mostly tiny wind swell or nothing at all. Expect a gap of almost a week where the best you’ll see is ankle-biters under 0.5 ft. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath. Tuesday morning the 7th might give you a brief moment of flat, glassy water, but there’s no push behind it.
The only time we see any bump in energy comes Sunday afternoon the 12th, when a small easterly swell around 3 ft at 5 seconds creeps in. Combined energy is still only 28 – weak stuff. Wind shifts onshore from the east at 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy and messy. Not worth rushing for.
Later in the week, from Wednesday the 17th onward, we finally get some clean offshore winds – WNW at 12 to 19 mph – but the swell stays tiny, around 1 ft to 1 ft. Those offshore conditions would be mint if there was any real swell to work with, but there just isn’t. It stays like that into Monday the 20th of July: glassy or clean offshore winds, but absolutely no wave height to speak of.
Bottom line: La Nartelle is an inconsistent, sheltered beginner spot anyway, and this run is about as flat as it gets. Not a single standout session in the whole 16 days. Hang loose and check back later.

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.
