The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the charts for the next 16 days... it’s a tough one. The entire forecast period is a long, flat stretch with no surf worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid gap from now all the way through to the end of the window with zero real recommendations.
The only break on the radar is La Nartelle. It’s a sheltered beginner spot, which usually needs a specific swell direction to work, and that’s just not happening. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – that’s over 9°F above average, which is very unusual.
We do get a few tiny pulses of energy, but they're pathetic. On Wednesday morning the 9th, there’s a 0.6ft south swell creeping in with a 3-second period – that’s just wind slop. The combined energy is a measly 1 (1). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the water will look clean and pretty, but there’s nothing to ride.
Then on Saturday the 12th morning, we get a similar 1.0ft swell from the ENE with a 3-second period and glassy conditions. Again, combined energy of just 2 (2). You’ll be sitting on a glassy lake, not a wave.
The tiny 0.3ft south swells pop up around the 20th and 21st, but with onshore winds gusting up to 18 mph, it’s not even worth looking at. The rest of the days are completely flat, with zero energy.
Nothing is consistent here. For a spot like this, a blank run like this is more normal than unusual. It’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but for now, leave the board in the car and enjoy the sun. It’s a total write-off.
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.
