The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve had a look at what’s coming down the line for your local stretch. Let’s be straight with each other – it’s a long, flat wait for the next few weeks.
The first real sign of life isn’t until the middle of the month. We’ve got a solid dry spell from now, right through to the end of the first week of August, with nothing but dead calm, glassy mornings and flat, clean conditions. Makes for a nice paddle, but there’s zero surf to ride. The water is sitting at a balmy 82°, a whopping 8° above the long-term average for early August, so it feels like a warm bath out there. That’s unusual for this time of year, no doubt about it.
The first tiny pulse of swell shows up around Wednesday the 12th of August, but it’s barely a whisper: a 0.7ft NNE windswell with a pathetic 2-second period, and combined wave energy of just 1. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, but the surf is tiny and weak. Not worth suiting up for.
We get a little more on the 20th of August, with a bit of offshore wind in the afternoon and a 1ft ENE swell, still with a 2-second period. Energy is still only 1. It’s clean, but don’t expect a rideable wave.
The period finally shows some promise on the 21st of August. Friday morning brings a 2ft E swell with a 4-second period, still small, but the wind is light cross-off and it’s clean. By Friday afternoon, the swell pushes up to 4ft from the east, with a 6-second period and combined energy climbing to 72. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so there’s a little chop, but it’s the first real surfable day of the entire forecast. The wave state is described as poor, but it’s the best we’ll see.
The 22nd of August goes flat again, and the 23rd offers a tiny glassy bump in the morning before fading.
So, the standout – and the only real window – is the afternoon of the 21st of August. Head to La Nartelle for some small, clean east swell with a little bit of energy behind it. The water will still be very warm. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s *inconsistent* and can get crowded *sometimes*. Don’t expect much, and you won’t be disappointed. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a waiting game.
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.
