Ah, mate. Not gonna lie, this one's a tough read. The next couple of weeks at La Nartelle are looking pretty flat, and the few waves that do show up aren't going to give you much to work with. This is one of those stretches where you're better off waxing the log for a paddle or just catching up on the surf vids.
The water temp is a whopper at 76°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper anomaly that, feels more like the tropics than the Med right now.
Looking at the whole 16-day run, there's almost nothing to get excited about. We start off with zero surf for the first few days and it stays stubbornly small. The only flicker of something happens on Tuesday, July 14th, when a tiny 1ft swell from the south shows up in the afternoon with a pitiful 2-second period – that's just wind chop. Combined wave energy is a measly 2 which is basically flat. Wind is cross-shore, so it'll be bumpy. Not worth the drive.
Then again on Wednesday, July 15th, there's a similar little bump of 1ft from the east, still short period and cross-onshore. The combined energy only hits 3. These are not surfable waves, just a bit of movement on the water.
The only moment that *might* catch your eye is Sunday, July 19th, when the wind swings cross-offshore and the swell is 1.0ft from the south with a 5-second period. It'll be clean, but the combined energy is just 5 – we're talking knee-high slop at best.
Honestly, this whole window is a washout. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is generally on it or cross. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. If you're a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon breezes might give you a session, but for us paddle surfers? It's a long, flat wait. Forecasts can always change, so don't bin the boards just yet, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
