The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim around these parts. We’ve got a serious flat spell on the cards. There’s just nothing showing up on the horizon for La Nartelle – the swell charts are basically a blank page. For a solid stretch, we’re looking at a long blank run of maybe ten or eleven days with no surf worth paddling out for. It’s just gonna be clean, empty water for the swimmers and the sunbathers.
To be fair, the water is toasty – a real notable 78°F with an anomaly nearly three degrees above the usual for this time of year. That’s far from average; it’s a proper warm bath out there.
Now, looking at the first real signs of life: on Saturday the 5th of September, we finally see a little pulse. It’s a small one, maybe 2ft to 2ft from the northeast, with a period around 4 seconds. The energy is still weak, and the direction is cross-off, but after all that nothing, you might just get a couple of crumbly little runners on the sandbanks. The wind is light, so it might be clean, but it’ll be a desperate, small-wave kind of session for the longboard or a foiler.
After that, it’s more of the same – dribbles of swell, mostly under 1ft, and never with any punch. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 9th of September with a hint of morning glass and a tiny 0.7ft bump, but that’s not a surf, that’s a ripple.
So here’s the hard truth: there are no standout waves in this whole 16-day window. It’s just a bleak, flat run. But listen, this spot is usually more consistent than this, so a blank run like this is a bit of a rarity. Forecasts can change, and it shouldn’t stay this poor for long. But right now, I’d leave the board at home and just go for a swim. Stay patient.

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

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.
