Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a flat, sad affair. We've got a massive, frustrating gap right off the bat. From now, all the way through until Friday the 18th of July, there's basically not a single worthwhile wave to be found. That's over two weeks of nothing but tiny dribbles and onshore junk. The water temps are sitting at a toasty 79°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, making it feel more like a bath than the Med. But with that warmth comes the curse of no swell.
La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot that's pretty inconsistent, and this run is a perfect example of why. You'll get a few days of glassy conditions – like Sunday the 5th of July morning, or Wednesday the 9th of July morning – but with zero swell to ride, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. Even the few tiny pulses we see, like a meager 0.7ft from the east with a weak period of 4 seconds (combined energy of just 1), are too small to do anything with.
We finally see a glimmer of life on Saturday, July 18th. The morning looks interesting, with a glassy wind and a tiny 1ft swell (combined energy of 4), and the afternoon bumps up to a 2ft east swell with a period of 4 seconds (combined energy of 9). The wind is cross-onshore in the arvo, so it won't be perfect, but it's the best we've got in this whole window. It’ll be tiny, mushy waves for beginners, and the crowds are *sometimes* an issue there.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 18th is your only real shot at clean, tiny waves. But don't get your hopes up. This is a long, dry spell that's pretty normal for this sheltered spot when the swell windows don't line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a tough watch.

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.
