Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast, mate.
It’s a grim picture, to be honest. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat and lifeless. We’re looking at a big empty gap right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for.
From Wednesday the 8th, it’s dead calm – zero swell, just a little north breeze. That carries on for days. There’s a tiny pulse on Thursday the 9th, but we’re talking a weak 1 ft of slop from the ENE with a period of just 3 seconds and almost no energy. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy junk.
We see the biggest bump around Saturday the 11th into Sunday the 12th. Sunday morning shows 3 ft from the east, period still a short 6 seconds, with an energy reading of 93. That’s the best we get, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. For a sheltered beginner spot like La Nartelle, that onshore wind kills it. It’s just too weak to be fun for anyone.
After that, it drops back to zero for another long stretch. The only interesting thing is right at the end, Tuesday the 22nd, when we get a strong 19 mph offshore wind from the west, but once again, there’s no swell to work with.
The water is running much warmer than normal for July, sitting at 77°F, which is a big jump of nearly 7°F above average. That doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride. This kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area, so no surprises.
No real standout here. If you’re feeling desperate, Sunday the 12th morning might give you a tiny, weak wave, but it won’t be clean. Leave the board at home for now.
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.
