The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks here at La Nartelle.
First up, the water temp is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a solid 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a proper treat for the skin, really.
Now, the honest truth? We're looking at a tough run. From now through to the end of August and well into the first week of September, it's pretty much flat. We've got a couple of days around the 27th of August with some small, short-period windswell but it's blown out by strong east winds, so forget it. There are a few glassy or offshore mornings, like Tuesday the 25th of August and Friday the 28th of August, but with zero to tiny swell, the board stays on the beach.
The most promising window looks to be around Saturday the 30th of August, but even then, we're only talking about a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft of weak energy (1-3) from the east-northeast. Nothing to write home about.
Into the first week of September, the pattern continues. A few clean mornings but the swell just isn't there. We've got a bit of a stronger offshore breeze puffing up around Sunday the 6th of September, with some 22 mph winds from the west-northwest, but still no waves to speak of. The energy is virtually non-existent across the whole forecast. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and these blanks aren't unheard of around here.
Forget the board; with this combination of flat spells and consistent wind, the set-up looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Bottom line: There's nothing to get excited about in this 16-day stretch. It's a total flat spell. Hang up the wetsuit and check back later. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a full-on drought.

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.

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.
