Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Nartelle over the next 16 days.
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, this forecast is a bummer. La Nartelle has next to nothing on offer for the full 16 days. The water is warm, 78°F, which is 7°F above normal for the season—definitely noticeable, but it won’t help the waves. From the start right through to the end, it’s mostly flat. We get a few tiny pulses peaking at about 0.3–3ft from the SE and E, with periods of 4–6 seconds, and the combined energy maxes out at just 51 (weak) on the 12th of July, but that’s with a light cross-onshore breeze. That’s not worth paddling out for.
The closest thing to a surfable moment is the morning of the 12th of July: a 3ft, 6-second swell from the east, but with a light NE cross-onshore wind. It’s weak, short-period, and bumpy. Later on, the 21st and 22nd of July bring clean offshore winds from the west at 18–25 mph, but with zero swell. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
La Nartelle is a sheltered, inconsistent spot, and this kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area. It won’t stay like this forever, but for now, there’s just nothing to chase.
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.
