The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for La Nartelle. The guidance file tells me this is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot that needs an easterly swell to work, and it’s inconsistent. Looking at the forecast, there’s barely a ripple on the cards for the entire 16 days. We’re staring down a long, flat run with no real surf to speak of.
The only tiny sign of life comes on the morning of Thursday, August 6th, when the water temp is a very unusual 82°F, a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends. The swell energy is a weak 0 (0), and it stays that way for days. You’ll see a few scattered readings of 0.3ft to 1.0ft – like a weak 0.3ft from the south on Thursday afternoon, or a 1.0ft from the east-northeast on Friday afternoon – but the period is a pathetic 4 to 6 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, messy. Not worth getting wet for.
From the 7th of August right through to the 21st of August, it’s a desert. The combined energy never gets above a 3 (3), and most days it’s a straight zero. The wind does swing offshore or glassy on a few mornings, like the 10th, 11th, and 17th, but with no swell to push, that’s just a pretty morning for a coffee, not a surf. Even the morning of Sunday, August 16th, which is glassy, only has a 0.3ft, 4-second blip.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not even a bad one. It’s just flat. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. We’ll have to wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
