The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for La Nartelle is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s basically a flat spell. There’s no real swell to get excited about, and the energy we do see is barely worth paddling out for.
The whole period kicks off on Thursday the 10th with nothing but a tiny 1ft east-northeast wind chop on a 4-second period, giving us a combined energy of just 4. That’s weak. The afternoon has a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’s messy. We get a few days of flat calm until Saturday the 12th, when a 2ft east swell at 4 seconds shows up – combined energy of 10 – but it’s a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and poor. Sunday the 13th is glassy in the morning but flat, then a few 1ft to 2ft pulses from the east come through on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, but with onshore winds and periods of 3 seconds, it’s just wind slop. Combined energy tops out at 6.
There’s a bit of a bump on Thursday the 17th morning: a 2ft east swell at 6 seconds, combined energy of 22 – the highest we see – and the wind is a light offshore from the northwest. That’s the cleanest window, but it’s still tiny. After that, it’s back to nearly nothing, with a few 0.6ft to 2ft pulses and light winds, but the swell is too small and weak to surf. By the 24th and 25th, we’ve got strong onshore easterly winds at 18 mph, and no swell at all – that setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Because La Nartelle is an inconsistent, sheltered beginner spot, these long flat runs are more normal for the area. The water temperature anomaly doesn’t show, so it’s about average for the time of year. There are no standouts here. The best on offer is probably the Thursday the 17th morning with that clean but tiny 2ft swell. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
