The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions from now right through to the end of the second week. The first real sign of any surfable energy doesn’t show up until Wednesday afternoon, the 9th of September, and even then it’s barely a whisper. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a proper dry spell. The first week and a half is mostly flat, with just a few tiny pulses of swell that won’t get you excited.
The best of what’s on offer comes late in the window. On Sunday afternoon, the 20th of September, we get a small pulse of east swell at 1 ft with a period of only 2 seconds – that’s windswell, short and weak. The combined energy sits at just 1 (weak energy). The real standout is the light offshore wind from the west, with glassy conditions. It’s clean, but tiny. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit choice.
The next day, Monday the 21st of September morning, brings a tiny 0.7 ft south swell, period 6 seconds, with a light cross-onshore breeze. Not great. The afternoon picks up a little, with a 2 ft south-southeast swell, period 6 seconds, and combined energy of 23 (weak energy). Wind is onshore from the east, so it’ll be bumpy. Nothing to write home about.
La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner break, inconsistent, and crowds are sometimes a factor. Given the tiny size and poor quality through most of the run, this setup looks more interesting for a light wind kite session than a proper paddle. For surfing, you’re really waiting for a change in the forecast, because when it’s this flat, things can only get better.
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.
