The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for the next two weeks is a tough one for the region around La Nartelle.
We're looking at a long stretch of flat, gutless conditions. The first bit of surf that's even worth mentioning, and I'm being generous here, is a tiny, weak pulse coming in on Friday the 17th of July. You've got a 1ft SSE swell with a period of 4 seconds, riding a south wind. The combined energy of all swells is a paltry (3). It's basically a lake. Not a single wave in the whole 16-day window gets a recommendation, and the scores are all zeros. We're looking at a solid blank run, which is more normal for this area when it's like this.
The water temperature is a whopping 81°F, which is over 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. Very unusual.
From Saturday the 18th of July right through to the end of the month, it's a ghost town. There are occasional tiny bumps of 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly from the east, but with periods of 3 to 4 seconds. The energy is almost non-existent (1 to 8). Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, like on Sunday morning the 19th or Sunday morning the 26th, there's just no swell to work with.
The wind patterns are all over the place, from glassy mornings to moderate cross-onshore afternoon breezes, but none of it matters when there's nothing to push. We see some moderate offshore winds from the west towards the end of the month, like on Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of July, but again, the swell is completely absent. The combined energy reading is zero for those days.
So, the honest truth? Don't get your hopes up. There's no standout. There's nothing. The only thing on offer is a flat ocean and a warm swim. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a hard pass on the paddle.

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.
