The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m lookin’ at a flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. For the next few days at La Nartelle, well, there’s just nothin’ to get excited about. The water is warm, 80°, and that’s a whopping 9° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there – but the ocean is just takin’ a nap. We’ll see a few tiny, weak ripples on Wednesday morning the 9th, maybe 0.7 ft from the south with a short 4-second period, but truly, it’s not worth paddling out for. The whole stretch from the 8th through to the 16th is basically a desert. The wind might be glassy or clean on some mornings, like Thursday morning the 10th with that NE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell energy is just a measly 1, not enough to break a wave.
Now, into the second week, things get a little more interesting. On Saturday the 19th, we finally see a pulse of swell. The afternoon brings a 3 ft swell from the east-northeast, with a combined energy of 28, which is still weak but it’s better than a poke in the eye. The wind is cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’s gonna be a little choppy and messy. Not the best, but it’s surfable for a beginner if you’re desperate. The morning of Sunday the 20th is actually the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the east, period of 5 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind from the NW at 3 mph. That’s clean, glassy edges, and the combined energy is 27. That’s your best chance to get a few little rollers. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a conveyor belt, but if you’re there on Sunday morning, you might just get a few fun ones.
After that, it looks like it fades back to nothing again through the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. A real quiet run for the area, but that’s how it goes sometimes – the forecasts can change, but right now, mark Sunday the 20th in your calendar.
Rusty.

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.
