The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a brutal stretch ahead for this region. The forecast is a flat spell with no real surfable waves on the horizon. The first record kicks off on July 20th, but we’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. Every single entry in the data shows "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero.
The only break on the radar is La Nartelle (France). This spot is a sheltered, beginner-friendly beach break, but it’s also inconsistent. Over the whole three weeks, the biggest swell we see tops out at a measly 3 ft on the afternoon of Friday, July 24th, coming from the east with a period of just 5 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is a paltry 34 (weak energy), and that’s the best it gets. The wind that day is a 16 mph onshore easterly, which will make for a messy, choppy mess.
There are a few glassy moments, like the morning of July 22nd with no wind, but the swell is only 0.7 ft. Or the morning of July 30th, again glassy, but with zero swell. It’s heartbreaking. You can’t surf what isn’t there.
The water temp is a notable 82°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and you’ll be swimming in bathwater if you even bother getting wet.
The long-range outlook into early August is no better. By the 4th of August, it’s still flat. There’s just nothing to recommend. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is a tough reality. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the charts; it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, leave the wetsuit at home.
Stay patient,
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.
