The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for the region is a tough one. We are looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The first real chance of any surf comes in on Monday the 20th of July, but even then it’s a bit of a struggle. Before that, from today through to Sunday the 19th, it’s almost completely flat. You’ll be staring at a mirror, with maybe a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft bump that’s just not worth paddling out for. We’ve got a gap of about five days of flatness before anything even registers.
So, your best bet, and really the only break that pops its head up, is La Nartelle. It’s a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent, so you have to pick your moment. The water is a very unusual 80°, which is about 9° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper warm bath.
On Monday the 20th of July, during the afternoon, we finally see a pulse. The swell will be a tiny 3ft from the ESE, but it’s coming with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 20 (very weak). The wind will be a moderate cross-onshore from the SSE at 12 mph, making it choppy. It’s not great, but it’s the only rideable surf in the whole forecast.
The rest of the run is a write-off. You’ll see small, wind-affected junk from the 21st through to the 30th of July, but nothing that scores a recommendation. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore chopping it up, and the swell is either absent or below 2ft. This is a classic summer flat spell for this area. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
