The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me level with you about La Nartelle. To put it plainly, we’ve got a long, dry spell coming up. Looking at the whole 16-day run, it’s almost entirely flat with no real swell to speak of. You’re looking at a solid gap from now right through to the afternoon of August 7th, maybe longer, where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. That first wee bump we see is on the morning of August 5th, but at 0.3ft from the South with a short 7-second period, it’s barely a ripple. The combined swell energy is just 1, so it’s as weak as it gets.
Water temps are running way above normal right now at a steamy 82°, which is over 9 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s wild. But with no surf, it doesn’t help much.
The break itself is sheltered, inconsistent, and rarely breaks, so this blank run isn’t a surprise. It’s just what this spot does when there’s no energy in the water. The wind stays light off the NW in the mornings, giving clean conditions, but there’s simply nothing to ride. Afternoons get a choppy SE cross-onshore, but again, zero waves to mess up.
There’s a tiny tease on August 5th morning with a 0.3ft South swell and a glassy, clean morning – maybe a knee-high dribble for absolute beginners, but that’s being generous. After that, it’s back to flatness. No standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. Honestly, for a surfer, this stretch is a write-off. Kite surfers won’t have anything to work with either.
Hang in there, forecasts can shift, but for now, give the board a rest.

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.
