The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a pretty bleak 16-day window ahead for La Nartelle. The wave energy is just not showing up, and the charts are all but empty. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, clean conditions, but no surf to ride.
Right now, through Tuesday the 28th of July, the water’s sitting at a very unusual 82° – that’s 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s like a bath out there, but with zero swell. The combined energy is a pathetic 0 (0) – dead flat. We’ve got a glassy morning on Wednesday the 29th, and another glassy start on Thursday the 30th, but it’s all just flat, calm water. Not a wave to be found.
We’ll see a few more mornings of glassy or clean conditions, like a cross-offshore on Friday the 31st, and a glassy start on Sunday the 2nd of August, but still no swell. This pattern of flatness and light winds carries right through the first week of August. There’s a brief flicker on Saturday the 8th of August morning – a tiny 2ft swell from the NE, with a period of 4 seconds, and a combined energy of 8 (8) – that’s weak. It’s glassy, but the swell is tiny and short-period, so it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
Then on Sunday the 9th of August, we get a 15 mph offshore wind in the morning, strengthening to 25 mph in the afternoon. That’ll be clean, but with only a 2ft, 3-second windswell, the combined energy is just 5 (5). It’s not surfable – the wind is howling, and the waves are just wind chop. For a sheltered beginner spot like La Nartelle, that’s more of a kite session than a paddle session.
The rest of the run through to Wednesday the 12th of August is more of the same – flat, with some clean spells but no power. No standouts here, folks. The best I can say is the water is warm, and the mornings are often glassy, but you’ll be floating, not surfing. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the swell windows close up.
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.

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.
