The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here from the beach. Let’s talk about the next 16 days.
The first week is a total write-off. From the 1st through the 8th, there’s zero swell energy. The water’s warm – about 78°, which is way warmer than usual – but it doesn’t matter. You’re looking at a flat ocean. No surf.
The first signs of life come on the 10th, but it’s barely a ripple. A 0.3ft easterly pulse with a combined energy of just (1). Light cross-shore wind keeps it clean, but it’s not enough to ride. The 11th afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft east swell, but it’s only a 5-second period, so it’s weak and won’t stand up. Combined energy is still low (47).
The 12th is the closest thing to a highlight. A clean northwest cross-off breeze kicks in. Swell runs 2ft to 3ft from the east-northeast, still short period, but combined energy hits (62) by the afternoon. It’s small, clean, and manageable. For a beginner spot like La Nartelle, this is your best bet. Expect some crowds.
Everything after that fades. The 13th is tiny, and from the 14th through the 16th, it’s back to flat. If you’re a beginner who wants a clean little wave, aim for the 12th. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch.
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.
