The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, it’s looking pretty flat and grim for a long stretch. The first real whisper of a wave doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a solid week-plus of no-go surf before that, so don’t bother paddling out until then.
The first tiny pulse arrives on the morning of the 9th of September at La Nartelle. We’re talking a weak 0.7ft south swell with a period of just 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is basically non-existent at 1. The wind is glassy though, so if you’re a total beginner and just want to bob around, you might find a ripple, but it’s poor surf all the way. Best to save the energy.
The most interesting day in this whole forecast is Thursday the 10th of September. On the afternoon, we see a jump to a 4ft easterly swell with a 5 second period. The combined energy hits 68, which is still weak but it’s the most we’ve got. The water temperature is a crazy 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The downside? The wind is onshore from the east, and there’s a risk of t-storms, so it’s gonna be messy. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner’s break, so even this little bump is better than nothing, but don’t expect much.
After that, we’ve got nothing but tiny dribbles and flat spells through the rest of the period. The morning of the 20th of September sees a 0.3ft glassy bump, but again, just poor conditions. Into the final week, the winds finally turn offshore consistently from the west and northwest on the 17th and 18th of September, but unfortunately, there’s no swell to go with it. A classic case of clean, howling offshore winds with a dead-flat sea. Would make for great kite surfing, but not paddle surfing.
Overall, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 10th of September afternoon is the best (and really only) option, but keep the expectations on the floor. This is a tough run for La Nartelle.
Rusty.
