Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Nartelle over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days around La Nartelle are a real struggle. There's nothing that I'd call a proper surf session in the whole run. We're looking at a long, flat spell with only tiny, weak bumps that won't get you out of first gear.
The water’s sitting at a very warm 80° right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the Med. But with the ocean being this flat, it’s more of a swimming pool situation than a surf spot.
Looking at Monday 13 July, there’s a tiny 0.7ft easterly dribble with a short 4-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s messy even for that tiny size. The combined swell energy is just 1 – it’s about as weak as it gets. We’ve got similar tiny, poor conditions through Tuesday and Wednesday.
There’s a slight glimmer on Monday 20 July. The afternoon shows the biggest swell of the run: a 2ft easterly with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 31, but it’s still in the weak category. The problem is the wind goes cross-onshore and choppy. It’s not good enough to recommend.
The rest of the period from 22 July right through to 28 July is a wasteland. Most days show zero swell or just tiny 0.7ft bumps with no energy. The only positive note is the morning of 28 July, where we get a glassy 0.7ft southerly bump, but it’s flat right after that. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is normal for the area during a flat spell.
Honestly, leave the board in the car. This setup would be more interesting for a swim than a paddle.
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.
