The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks at La Nartelle. I gotta be straight with you, this one's a tough pill to swallow. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a dud for surfable waves. There’s just no real energy lining up.
Looking at the first recommendation, we're talking about Thursday the 27th of August. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable warm patch for sure. But that’s where the good news ends. The swell is a meager 4ft from the east with a short, weak period of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry (55). Wind is a moderate cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, making for choppy, poor conditions. Definitely not worth paddling out for.
From there, it's a long, bleak run. We see tiny, weak swell pulses on the 28th and 29th of August, but the size drops to nothing. By the 31st of August, the swell lines totally vanish. We get a stretch of glassy, flat mornings – like on Tuesday the 1st of September, with a NNE breeze so light it's glassy, but there's literally zero swell to ride. That pattern of flat, clean conditions carries on for days. A tiny bump of 1ft from the south shows up on the morning of the 3rd of September, but with only 14 units of energy, it’s barely a ripple. Again, not worth getting wet for.
The next real ripple isn't until the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, with a tiny 1ft easterly, and then it’s gone again. The whole forecast is a desert. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. This is just one of those times where the ocean takes a nap. For a spot like La Nartelle, which is already inconsistent and sheltered, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Keep the board in the rack and hope the forecasts change for the better down the track.
Rusty.

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.
