The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles. The next 16 days at La Nartelle are slim pickings. Most of the time it’s flat as a pancake, and when there’s a bump, the wind tends to spoil it.
From Tuesday 11th August right through to Wednesday 19th August, it’s almost completely flat. You’ll see some glassy mornings around the 16th, 17th, and 18th, but with zero swell it’s just a mirror. On Wednesday 19th, we finally get a little pulse – about 2ft from the east-northeast with a period of just 4 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore and choppy, and the combined energy is a weak 17. Water temp is about 84°F, which is nearly 10°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual and feels like a hot tub.
Thursday 20th is back to tiny, messy waves with onshore wind. Then Sunday 23rd offers the best chance: a 2ft swell from the south at 7 seconds, with a nice offshore wind from the west at 9 mph. The combined energy is 34, still weak, but the surf is clean and rideable for a beginner. The afternoon sees the wind pick up to 19 mph offshore, but the swell drops to about 1ft. Not exciting, but Sunday morning is the closest we get to a decent paddle.
After that, Monday 24th onward goes flat again. This whole 16-day window is a bust – no standout days, no real push. If you absolutely need to get wet, aim for Sunday 23rd morning with clean conditions. Otherwise, it’s a long blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now the ocean is taking a nap.
Rusty.

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.
