The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya—this ain’t a pretty picture.
Right from the get-go, we’re looking at a long, flat spell. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 17th, there’s just no surf to speak of. It’s a proper dry spell, so don’t bother waxing up. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is a fair whack warmer than usual for this time of year—pretty unusual, feels more like a bath than the Med.
We finally see a tiny glimmer on Wednesday the 18th afternoon. The surf is still flat, but the wind goes glassy—dead calm. That’s about the only highlight for a paddle if you just wanna sit out there, but there’s nothing to ride.
The first real pulse of energy finally arrives on Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. We get a 3ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, combined energy is weak at just 74. Wind is onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which will mess up the surface. It’s not good surf, but it’s the biggest wave we see in the whole outlook.
After that, Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th tease us with tiny 0.7ft to 1ft scraps from the east and northeast, again with short periods. Friday morning has a light offshore from the NW, which would make it clean, but the swell is basically flat.
Then we’re back into another dry patch from Saturday the 26th onward. Clean mornings, sure, but no waves to ride.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The only time we even touch 3ft is on the 23rd, but the wind is onshore and the energy is weak. If you’re a beginner, that’s about as big as it gets here, but the onshore wind will make it choppy. For anyone else, this is a write-off. The spot is sheltered and inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a textbook example of a long flat spell for La Nartelle.
Keep the board in the car, check back later—forecasts can change.

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.
