The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple weeks at La Nartelle.
Honestly, mate, lookin’ at the whole 16-day stretch, it’s a bit of a flat spell. There are very few windows with anything rideable, and none of them are what you’d call a proper surf day. We’re looking at a long, long wait for the most part.
Things start off with nothin’ really on Monday the 24th. Tuesday the 25th has a light 0.2ft southerly bump in the morning, but that’s nothing to get excited about. The best we see in the first week is late on Thursday the 27th. An easterly swell builds to 5ft in the morning, dropping to 4ft by the afternoon, with a period of only 5-6 seconds. The wind is onshore and strong at 19 mph, so it’s gonna be a messy, blown-out scene. The combined energy reads 124 (moderate) that afternoon, but it’s not gonna be clean or fun for paddling. That kind of wind and short period chop is more of a kite-surfing setup than a surf one.
After that, the surf dies right off. From Saturday the 29th all the way through to the first few days of September, the energy drops to zero. It’s almost a full week of flat conditions with nothing on offer. By the time we get to Sunday the 7th of September, there’s a tiny 1ft north-easterly pulse with clean winds, but it’s just too small to count as a surf.
So what's the standout? There really isn’t one. The only time the water gets any energy at all is Thursday the 27th, but the quality is poor thanks to that strong easterly wind. The water is a very unusual 80°—much warmer than normal for this time of year—but you won’t be surfing it in any decent conditions.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent and sheltered, this is a grim run. The outlook is a big blank for almost two weeks, and that’s just how it goes here sometimes.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
