The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough one. The forecast is showing a big, flat gap. We're staring down a whole lot of nothing for the first week and a half. For anyone wanting to get wet, you're gonna need some serious patience. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until the afternoon of Thursday, September 17th, and even that's a long way off.
The only spot on the menu is La Nartelle, and it's a sheltered beginner break that's inconsistent. The water here is running at 78°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's really unusual, you'll feel like you're surfing in a bath.
So, for the bulk of the run, from now right through to the morning of the 17th, it's just clean, glassy conditions with no swell to speak of. We've got a few mornings with light offshore breezes that would make for perfect clean waves, if there were any waves. It's a frustrating tease.
The one standout, and it's a real long-shot standout from the second week, is the afternoon of Thursday, September 17th. We'll see a tiny pulse of east swell, around 2ft, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak, only 21. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won't be glassy, but it's the only bump of energy on the whole board. For a beginner break that rarely sees much, this is as good as it gets in this window. It's a little something to keep an eye on, but don't get your hopes up too high.
That's the story, folks. A long, flat spell with one tiny, late hope. Conditions have been clean, so it never stays this poor for long. Forecasts can change.
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.
