The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
For the first week or so, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything rideable. The data shows a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" with combined swell energy mostly sitting at a measly 1 to 10, which is just about zero. The water is a balmy 82°F which is "much warmer than normal" for this time of year, but that doesn't help the waves.
The first real chance comes late on the 27th of July, Monday afternoon, when we see a tiny pulse of energy. La Nartelle might see a 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of only 4 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, and the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy is still only 10. It’s really not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the week is a dead loss. We’ve got a long stretch of zeros from the 30th of July all the way through to the 1st of August. The combined energy is flat at zero. The wind is mostly light and cross-off, which is nice for the soul, but with no swell, it’s just a lake.
We see a tiny flicker of life on the morning of the 3rd of August, Monday. A 1.0ft swell from the ENE with a period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 1. Don’t even think about it. The afternoon might be a tiny bit better with a 1ft E swell, period 4 seconds, and a combined energy of 6. Still, a gentle cross-shore wind won't do much for those ankle-biters.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 4th and 5th of August are completely flat. The morning of the 6th of August (Thursday) offers a 0.7ft S swell with a 4-second period and a combined energy of 2. It’s a nothing burger.
The window closes with a tiny 0.7ft E swell on the morning of the 7th of August (Friday). It’s glassy, but the combined energy is 1. Not worth the wax.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. The best "surf" on offer is a desperate chase for a 2ft slop. The whole 16-day forecast is a write-off for surfing. The breaks are all inconsistent, and the energy just isn’t there. This is one of those times where the forecast is a blank run, but for this area, it happens. Don’t sweat it, the sea will wake up again.
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.

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.
