G’day, Rusty here. I’ve chewed through the numbers for our little corner, and I’m calling it like it is – we’re in for a real lean spell. Two weeks ahead, and there ain’t a single wave worth wetting a wetsuit for. You’ll be doing more sitting on the beach than surfing.
We start this Sunday, July 12th. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds – pure wind chop with no grunt, and the combined energy is only 30 (weak). Wind is cross or onshore all day, making it a messy, weak mess. Not even a beginner should bother.
Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th are flat or close to it – swell down to 0.7ft or nothing, with tiny periods. Wind shifts around but never gives us a clean, rideable wave. By Wednesday 15th, there’s a whisper of a 1ft south swell with a 5-second period, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s a total dud.
Thursday 16th has a glassy morning, which sounds nice, but the swell is only 0.7ft with a 4-second period and a combined energy of 1. A glassy surface on flat water is just a mirror.
From Friday 17th all the way through to Saturday 25th July, it’s a long, flat run. Day after day of zeros. The wind does turn offshore a couple times – Sunday 20th morning is glassy, and Saturday 25th morning has a strong offshore breeze blowing at 25 mph – but there is no swell. That strong offshore on the 25th would be a dream with waves, but we’ve got nothing.
We finally get a bump on Sunday 26th July – a 1ft swell from the ENE with a 3-second period and 2 combined energy. That’s not surf; that’s a ripple. Then Monday 27th, it’s back to flat.
So, bottom line: two weeks of nothing. Water temp is running at 80°, which is 9° warmer than normal – very unusual for this time of year. You’ll be swimming in warm bathwater with no waves to ride. No standouts, no secret spots, just a whole lot of flat and nothing else.
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.
