The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of days with nothing much to get excited about. The first real whisper of something happens on Thursday the 10th, but it's barely a blip. The real story is a waiting game, with a solid gap of poor to no surf from now all the way through to the middle of the month.
The only spot on the radar is La Nartelle. It's a sheltered beginner's wave that's inconsistent, and you'll want to keep that in mind. For the first week and a half, it's all tiny or non-existent. The water is a warm 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle will be comfortable.
The action, if you can call it that, starts to build on Thursday the 10th. The morning brings a tiny 1ft easterly windswell with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at best (10). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but don't expect much push. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 3ft from the same direction, with a bit more energy (67), but a gentle cross-shore breeze will chop it up a little.
After that, it drops back to nothing for another week. Really, it's a blank run.
The only standout, and I’m using the term loosely, is on Friday the 18th of September. The morning shows a 2ft easterly swell with a period of 4 seconds, giving weak energy (11), but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be glassy. The real change comes in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 7ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy ramps up to a moderate 425. However, the wind swings onshore from the southeast, which is a shame. It's going to be a messy, blown-out 7ft. That size is getting into the zone that's too much for beginners, and with the onshore wind, it's not going to be great for anyone on a paddleboard. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only day with any real grunt in the whole outlook.
Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
