The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for our stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a lean couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch of flatness or near-flatness that runs all the way from now until the middle of next week. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Thursday, August 14th, and even then it’s just a tiny 1 foot easterly bump with a period of 3 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. The water at La Nartelle is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The only faint pulse of energy that might get your heart beating a little is on Tuesday, August 18th. That morning we see a little 1 foot easterly groundswell creep in, but it’s the afternoon that has my attention. We get a jump to 4 feet from the east with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy reading of (127). It’s not huge, but it’s the biggest push in the whole window. The wind shifts around to a light cross-onshore from the southeast, so it won’t be perfect. Being a sheltered break, La Nartelle can handle a little of that, but don’t expect it to be super clean. This is the best we’ve got on offer, and it’s still pretty average. The rest of the run-up to the 23rd and 24th of August is filled with tiny scraps of swell that will have you mostly sitting and floating.
Honestly, if you’re an absolute beginner and you just want to get wet, you might find something to do on that Tuesday afternoon, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a tough stretch. The break is inconsistent, and with this pattern, a flat run is more normal for this area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
