The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough one. We're staring down a long, quiet stretch of surf. For the next week and a half, there's barely a ripple to talk about. We're looking at a solid 12-day gap with no real swell to get excited about. The only break on the radar is La Nartelle, and it's not seeing much action.
The first suggestion of any wave action comes in on the afternoon of Thursday, September 10th. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot, and it's inconsistent, but we'll see a tiny pulse of 1 ft swell from the east with a weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is only at (7), so it's weak. The morning is clean, but the swell is a flat zero. For the afternoon, it's a cross-off wind from the SW, which is about the best we can hope for given the circumstances. This is not a standout, but it's the first sign of life.
The better of a bad bunch comes on Friday, September 11th. The morning is clean with a light WNW cross-off, but again, no swell. The afternoon sees the same 1 ft of east swell, period still a short 5 seconds, but the energy ticks up slightly to (8). The wind is a cross-off from the SSW, keeping things relatively clean. It's still tiny, gutless surf, but for a beginner looking for a splash on a longboard, this is the best on offer.
We see a few more tiny pulses of east swell in the following days, but nothing breaks the 1 ft mark and the winds are often onshore or cross-on. Then, on Thursday, September 17th, we get a shift. A new 1 ft swell from the south arrives, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy on the morning is (16), which is the highest we've seen, but it's still very weak. The morning is clean with a light NW cross-off. This is the other potential highlight, but it's only 1 ft.
The rest of the period fades out into tiny, weak south swells with onshore winds. For a spot that's already inconsistent and sheltered, this is a real poor run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. It's a tough outlook, but that's how it goes sometimes. If you're desperate, the 11th or the 17th offer the only clean windows with a pulse of energy. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
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.

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.
