The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s have a look at the 16-day surf picture for the region. I’ll be honest, it’s a tough one. Pull up a seat.
Looking over the whole period, the news isn't great. The finder shows zero surf recommendations across the entire 16-day window. That’s a blank run from the 26th of July all the way through to the 10th of August. For this area, that kind of prolonged flat spell is more normal than unusual, so I wouldn't go getting your hopes up too quickly.
We start on Sunday the 26th of July. There is a tiny pulse of swell at La Nartelle, but at a mere 2 ft from the south with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s delivering weak energy (22). The wind is a moderate 15 mph from the WSW, which is offshore, so the surface would be clean, but with no real push behind it, it’s not going to be rideable. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82 °F, which is 9 °F warmer than normal for the time of year – that’s a serious anomaly.
From Monday the 27th right through to Saturday the 9th of August, the data shows no meaningful swell at all. We’re looking at wave heights of 0.0 ft to 0.7 ft at best, with periods of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy values are all at 0 or 1, which is flat-out pathetic. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 29th of July, where the wind is a light 3 mph from the NNW, and Thursday the 30th, also glassy. But it’s a lake, not a surf break. You could paddle a SUP, but there’s nothing to catch.
The one tiny glimmer comes right at the end of the forecast, on Friday the 7th of August. The morning shows a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the ENE with a 4-second period and glassy conditions, but with energy at just 1, it is barely a ripple. The afternoon sees the same tiny swell with a larger cross-shore wind.
So, the summary is plain: don't bother loading up the boards. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The forecasts can change, but right now it’s a solid stretch of nothing. Stay tuned.

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.
