The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya what I see for the next couple of weeks at this spot. To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch.
Right now, we've got a massive blank run ahead of us. For the first week and a half, starting from Thursday the 10th of September, there's basically nothing to ride. The combined swell energy sits at a dead zero (0), and it's not even worth checking the buoys because there's no swell period to speak of. You'll see some tiny ripples here and there, maybe a 0.7ft to 1ft bump from the east-northeast, but it won't even break properly. That's the reality check – La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner-friendly setup, but it's utterly flat.
It isn't until the very end of the window, around Monday the 21st of September afternoon, that we see a glimmer. A 0.7ft swell from the east-northeast creeps in with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 4. The wind is light and cross-onshore, which won't give you any quality but might just bend that tiny bump enough for a longboard. Tuesday the 22nd of September morning offers a similar hope – a 0.7ft swell from the east-northeast with a 6-second period, energy at 3, and clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. For what's on offer, that Tuesday morning is the best you're gonna get.
There's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. The water temp is a very unusual 80°, a full 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's a great day to swim, but for surf? We're staring down a 10-day gap of nothing. The swell energy never even reaches a weak level, and the consistency is, as expected, "inconsistent." With the directional exposure mainly east, we need a proper easterly pulse, and this forecast just doesn't deliver.
So, if you're a beginner just wanting to float around, maybe that Tuesday morning works. For anyone else, it's a solid no-go. You'd get a better workout paddling a kayak.

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.
