The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day window and I’ll level with ya – it’s a flat spell. Plain and simple. The data shows no surfable swell on offer for the entire period. The first sliver of anything that even looks like a wave doesn’t show up until late in the game, but it’s a non-starter. So, let’s call it what it is: a long stretch of glassy mornings and flat afternoons, perfect for a paddleboard or a swim, but not for a surfboard.

We start with La Nartelle. This spot is a sheltered beginner’s break, inconsistent, and it’s gonna be a tough run. The water is sitting at 81°F – that’s about 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. Real bathwater stuff. But the swell? It’s a ghost. From Thursday 23 July through to the end of the month, there’s zero combined wave energy (0) and the only height we see is a poor 0.7 ft to 2 ft with short, weak windswell periods of 3 to 4 seconds. The wind is all over the place – cross-shore, onshore, even some glassy mornings – but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride.

The first week of August brings no change. More flatness. Morning glass-offs and light breezes, but the scores are all zeros. The first real glimmer of hope comes very late. On Friday morning, 7 August, we get a brief offshore wind from the west (6 mph) and a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the south with a period of 5 seconds. That’s still a total energy of just 1 (weak). It’s not enough to call a wave, let alone ride one. There is no standout here. No hidden gem. The whole 16-day run is a write-off for surf.

If you’re a kite surfer, the setup on the afternoons with a 12 mph cross-off wind on 26 July might grab your attention, but for paddle surfing? This is a total blank. It’s a quiet stretch for the area, the kind of thing that happens when the ocean just goes to sleep. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang the board up and enjoy the warm water for a swim.

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.
