The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the local stretch. We're looking at La Nartelle, and for the better part of the next 16 days, we’re basically staring at a flat, wind-affected bathtub. There’s just no real swell to get excited about, and the few scraps of energy that show up are tiny, short-period, and blown out. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might as well be taking a bath.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. The wind is glassy from the NW, with a slight air, but the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. There is zero swell energy (0) in the water. It’s a total flat spell. This pattern of clean, glassy mornings with nothing to ride continues through the end of July and into early August. We get a few days with tiny, weak waves – like on the 3rd of August, there’s a 0.3ft to 1ft wave from the east with a period of just 3 to 4 seconds (combined energy of all swells directed here: 2 to 4). That’s wind chop, not surf. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it messy.
The best window of opportunity, if you can call it that, looks to be around the morning of Thursday, August 7th. It’s glassy, dead calm, with NE wind at 0 mph. But again, the swell is missing. The only real standouts are the mornings where the wind goes light offshore or glassy, but the ocean is delivering nothing. The best on offer across the entire 16-day period is the morning of Saturday, August 8th, with a light offshore wind from the W at 3 mph and a clean surface. However, there’s still no swell to speak of at that time. The afternoon of the 8th does show a tiny 1ft wave from the east (3-second period, energy of 1), but it’s a long way from a surfable wave. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re desperate for a session.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a blank run. It’s just a brutal stretch of flatness. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
