The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast for La Nartelle is a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about for the whole 16-day window. Right from Thursday the 23rd of July, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The best of a bad bunch is Thursday morning with a 0.7ft easterly bump, period of 4 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak energy). That’s not really surf, it’s a paddle. The water is a balmy 82°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a swim will be pleasant.
The pattern doesn’t change. Friday the 24th morning is clean with a light cross-off, but there’s nothing on the face. That afternoon sees a 1ft wave from the ESE with a 3-second period and onshore wind – messy. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th offer tiny, short-period junk from the east and south, with the combined energy never reaching double digits. The wind is a mixed bag of cross-onshore and onshore, making it choppy and uninviting.
From Monday the 27th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, the story is the same. We get the occasional glassy morning, like Wednesday the 29th morning with a 0.7ft easterly swell and glassy conditions, and again on the 1st of August with a calm morning. But the swell is so small – 0.7ft to 2ft, periods of 3 to 5 seconds, and energy values mostly between 1 and 6 – that it’s just not worth loading the boards. There are days with no wave data at all, just flat water.
For a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot like La Nartelle, the lack of any real push is a bummer. It’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s virtually non-existent. The only bright spot is the occasional glass-off, but without a wave to ride, it’s no good for surfing. If you’re a kite surfer, a few of those afternoons with a 9-12 mph onshore breeze might give you something to work with on the flat water, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d say save the fuel.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
