The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real with you. I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks for this stretch, and honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at a run of days where the ocean’s just not doing much. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window for La Nartelle. You’re going to want to keep the board in the car, but maybe don’t even bother waxing it up for a while.
Right from Monday the 31st, it’s all quiet. We’ve got clean conditions and light winds, but with absolutely zero swell to work with. The water is 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just keen for a paddle, it’s lovely. But for waves? Nothing. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are the same story – just tiny dribbles of swell with no energy behind them.
We finally see a little pulse of life on Sunday the 6th, with a small 2ft ENE swell showing up in the morning. But it’s only got a 4-second period on it, which is just wind-slop – not real surf. It’s weak energy and not worth the paddle.
The next few days stay poor. There are some two-foot blips on the 12th and the 13th of September – 3ft and 3ft respectively – but these are also short-period wind swells. It’s a beach break setup, and with poor quality and less than favorable winds, this is going to be a frustrating one. Honestly, with the wind and how weak these swells are, this setup looks a bit more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We’ve got a long, quiet stretch here. From the 8th right through until the 15th, the energy stays weak, with the occasional 1ft bump. Nothing forms properly. On the 12th, it’s 3ft ENE and on the 13th it’s 3ft E, but at 5 seconds, it’s still just a bumpy, disorganized mess.
This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area. The forecast can always change, but right now, I wouldn’t be planning any dawn patrols. Keep an eye out, but for the next two weeks, the surf here is just not happening. I’m Rusty, and I’ll be waiting for the ocean to wake up.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
