G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with ya – this stretch for La Nartelle is about as quiet as a flat day in a bathtub. We’re looking at a solid blank run from now all the way through to the end of the 16-day window. No standouts, no proper waves to speak of.
The entire forecast is a long, drawn-out gap with no real surf on offer. From Sunday 12 July right through to Monday 27 July, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell energy is tiny, the period is short, and the heights are barely a bump. Most days show zero energy at all.
The water temperature is a notable 80°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s really unusual, almost like the ocean’s having a summer heatwave all to itself, but unfortunately it’s not bringing any waves with it.
A couple of the later mornings, like Tuesday 21 July and Sunday 26 July, show some clean offshore wind from the west – that’d be glassy and pretty, but with swell heights less than 1ft and combined energy as low as 1 to 3, there’s just nothing to ride. Even the glassiest water won’t put a smile on your face if there’s no wave under it.
Tuesday 21 July afternoon has a moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph from the west-northwest, but again, the swell’s a pathetic less than 0.5ft from the south with a period of 6 seconds – that’s barely a lake ripple.
There are no consistent breaks here, no standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. For La Nartelle, a run like this isn’t unusual – it’s a sheltered spot that needs a decent push from the east to wake up, and that push just isn’t happening. For kite surfing, the offshore winds on the 21st and 26th might be worth a look if you’ve got a board and a big kite, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.
Forecasts can change, but right now, this is about as flat as it gets. Hang in there.
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.
