The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this forecast.
Honestly, mate, it's a grim outlook. We're looking at a 16-day window starting now, and the first several days are a total loss. There's a big gap of nothing before we see anything worth paddling for. The first hint of a wave doesn't come until Monday the 13th, and even then it's barely a wrinkle.
Let's talk about the only spot on the cards: La Nartelle. It's a sheltered beginner spot, and it's inconsistent, so don't expect it to be pumping. The water is sitting at a balmy 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.
The first real, tiny window of opportunity looks like Saturday afternoon, the 18th. We get a glassy morning with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the S, but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon is the best we've got: a 0.3ft S swell with a gentle offshore wind from the WSW (2 combined energy). It'll be clean, but the size is next to nothing. It's a micro-session.
Then there's another long dry spell. Sunday the 19th is clean in the morning, but flat. After that, we get a few more days of tiny, onshore junk. The next real standout is actually a few weeks away, on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The forecast shows glassy conditions, but with no wave height at all listed. It's a flat, clean morning.
In short, for the entire 16-day run, there is no significant swell. The combined energy barely reaches 15 (weak) on the best day, and the rest of the time it's a zero. The dominant theme is flat, with occasional tiny, sloppy waves. For a beginner spot that's already inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run. It's not the time to plan a trip, but keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this quiet forever.
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.
