The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat and let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ in the water for the next couple of weeks. There’s a real flat spell headin’ our way, so we’re gonna have to be patient.
Right now, the waves are tiny and messy. Tuesday morning (25 August) has a bit of a bump with only 1ft from the ENE at a weak 3-second period – combined energy is just 3 (weak), so it’s not really surfable. The wind is cross-off from the NNW at 3 mph, which would keep it clean, but there’s just no power behind it. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday are even worse, with wind swingin’ onshore and makin’ things choppy and poor.
We do get a little glimmer on Friday morning (28 August). The wind goes glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the east at 5 seconds. That’s still a short period and combined energy is only 49 (weak), so it’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s the best we’ll see for the first week. La Nartelle is a sheltered spot, so it needs a decent push from the east, and even then it’s inconsistent. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
After Friday, it all goes quiet. From Saturday 29 August right through to Wednesday 9 September, there’s pretty much nothin’ – a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. You’ll see some clean offshore winds in there, especially around the 1st and 3rd of September, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a glassy lake. The wind does get strong offshore later on, but with zero waves, it’s more of a kite day than a surf day.
If you’re desperate, the best bet is Friday morning 28 August for a tiny, clean wave. Otherwise, it’s a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch is lookin’ real quiet.

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.
