The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a flat spell for La Nartelle. The charts are showing next to nothing, and the first real sign of any life is a tiny 0.7ft pulse from the SSE on Friday the 17th, but even that’s only got a 3-second period and the water temp is sitting at 81°, which is far warmer than you’d expect for this time of year. It’s not going to be worth paddling out for.
There’s a gap of a few days with nothing at all, and then we get a bit of a tease on the morning of Thursday the 24th of July. The swell pushes up to 3ft from the ENE with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 61 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, so the conditions would be nice and clean. Still, 3ft isn’t exactly going to fire, and it’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit weak and wonky. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.
After that, we fall back into a very quiet pattern. Through the end of July and into the start of August, the swell barely scrapes past 1ft. The morning of Wednesday the 30th of July brings another 2ft swell from the S, with a 7-second period and 52 units of combined energy (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW. Glassy and clean, but again, just too small to get excited about.
Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a real blank run. The only thing that looks even remotely interesting is the morning of the 24th of July, and even that’s a very marginal call. If you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the charts to change.
Check in again soon – it can’t stay this flat forever.

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.
