The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening. I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook is a quiet one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat to tiny, weak surf with poor conditions, so we’re going to be talking about the gaps more than the waves.

The first surf recommendation isn’t until Wednesday the 22nd of July, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. The pattern for the whole 16-day window is dominated by tiny, short-period windswell with next to no energy. The combined swell energy is almost always a measly 1, sometimes hitting 3 or 4, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temperature at La Nartelle is a very unusual 81°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s a real standout.

Let’s walk through it. Wednesday morning the 22nd, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft of swell from the ENE with a period of just 3 seconds, and a light NW cross-offshore wind. The water is clean, but the waves are basically non-existent. That afternoon, the wind swings SE and picks up, making it cross-onshore and choppy on that 2ft of junk. Thursday the 23rd is more of the same – tiny clean waves in the morning, then choppy in the afternoon. Friday through the end of the month, we’re looking at days with zero swell and flat conditions, broken only by the occasional 0.7ft or 1ft bump. The wind is often light and clean in the mornings, which is the only positive, but without any swell, it’s pointless.

We’ve got a gap of several days with no real surf at all – from around the 24th of July right through to the end of the month. The first week of August brings no change. The 2nd of August Sunday morning is clean with a slight air, but completely flat. The 3rd and 4th are also flat. Finally, on Wednesday the 5th of August, we see a tiny 0.3ft pulse from the south with a 7-second period – that’s a little more period, but still not enough energy to do anything (combined energy of 1). The wind is light and off-shore, so it’s clean, but the swell is too small to ride. Thursday the 6th of August is the same story: 0.7ft from the south, 7-second period, light cross-shore wind, but still just a ripple.

So, honestly, there is no standout session here. The best on offer is probably the Wednesday morning of the 22nd of July, with that tiny clean swell, but it’s only for the most desperate longboarder on a foamie. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent, which fits the pattern here – when the swell is this small, the spot just doesn’t fire. It’s a blank run that’s normal for this area given the conditions. The setup is so weak that it’s more interesting for a paddle than a surf.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay poor for long.

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.
