The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut right through it. For the Côte d’Azur, specifically La Nartelle, this 16-day window is a desert of flat water. A long, dry spell.
Right now, and through most of the first week and a half, there’s absolutely no surf. The combined wave energy is flat zero – just poor surf conditions. We’re talking a gap that runs from now all the way up to the 24th of September. The wind will get clean, even glassy on the 21st, but with no swell, it’s just a nice day for a swim, not a surf. The water is around average for this time of year.
Finally, on the morning of the 25th of September, a small pulse shows up. We get an east swell at 5ft, with a short period of 7 seconds and combined energy hitting 183 (moderate). It’s something, but the wind is onshore from the ENE at 15 km/h, so expect bumpy, chopped-out waves. This spot is sheltered and faces east, which matches the swell direction, but the onshore wind ruins the party.
This whole run is a dud. La Nartelle is inconsistent and a beginner spot that needs good conditions to work. Even the 26th of September afternoon, with 5ft of swell and 114 energy, is too messy with cross-on wind. That setup looks way more fun for a kite than a surfboard.
Keep checking the charts, but for now, the board stays in the rack. Maybe fix that ding.

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.
