The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next 16 days for La Nartelle, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, flat stretch. The break is a sheltered beginner spot, so it’s always a bit of a gamble, but this is a dead run. The water is at 28°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year — feels like a warm bath, but the waves are missing.
The first little flicker is on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. A tiny 0.2m swell from the ENE, but the period is only 3 seconds. That’s just a ripple. The combined energy is a pathetic 1 (1). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean. Not worth a look.
Next up is the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. A 0.2m from the south, with a 4-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the NNW. It’s clean, but there’s zero power behind it. The combined energy is only 2 (2). You’d be sitting there waiting for nothing.
After that, it’s flat or onshore all the way through. The morning of Friday, August 14th, is glassy with no wind, but there’s no swell to ride. It’s a classic summer dead spell. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is pretty normal. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, you’re better off doing something else.
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.
