Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about what’s on offer here. Straight up: the outlook for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks is pretty much a bust. We’re staring down a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The combined swell energy never even gets into triple digits – it tops out at just 9 in the whole run, which is about as weak as it gets. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a full 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and while it feels nice, it doesn’t help the surf.

Let’s walk through it. From Monday the 6th of July, there’s basically nothing. The first few days show tiny windswell – like 0.7 ft to 1 ft – with periods of just 2 to 4 seconds. That’s short-period, weak, messy stuff. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not worth getting wet.

Wednesday morning the 8th is flat. Thursday the 9th offers a 1.0 ft to 1 ft easterly windswell, but it’s blown out. Friday the 10th is flat again. Saturday the 11th has a moment – a glassy morning with 0.7 ft from the east, but that’s tiny. The afternoon picks up slightly to 2 ft, but period is still short at 4 seconds and the wind turns onshore. Not enough push for a proper wave.

Sunday the 12th sees the most “energy” of the whole forecast – a whopping 9 on the combined scale – with 2 ft at 4 seconds from the east. But it’s onshore or cross-onshore both sessions. That’s a no-go.

From Monday the 13th through to the end of the run, it's flat or close to it. There’s a period around Friday the 17th where a 0.7 ft southerly shows up with a period of 5-6 seconds and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is just too small. Then the 19th and 20th of July bring in strong offshore winds – 28 mph dropping to 16 mph – but with no swell at all. Clean skies but no waves – torture.

Bottom line: for the next 16 days, there’s not a single decent wave on the cards. La Nartelle is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those stretches where you can leave the board in the car. It won’t stay this quiet forever – forecasts can change – but right now, if you’re not kiting in that offshore wind, there’s nothing here for a surfer.

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.

La Nartelle is 13 km (8 miles) from Frejus. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Frejus. Frejus has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
