The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day outlook for La Nartelle.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The whole sixteen days is like a flat spell with barely a ripple. The first few days are a total write-off, with nothing but tiny wind chop and no real swell. From August 8th right through until the 23rd, it’s a long, flat run. You’ll see a few tiny pulses – like 0.7ft to 2ft – but the swell is mostly short-period windswell from the east or south, and the energy is next to nothing, reading between 1 and 7 (weak energy). The water is 83°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
The best you’re going to get, and I’m stretching here, is on August 23rd (Sunday morning). There’s a little 2ft swell from the east with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s tiny, weak, and short-period. The wind is WNW at 12 mph, which is cross-offshore and clean. Combined energy is only 7 (weak). It’s still a beginner-level wave, but at least it’s clean. Don’t expect any power or shape. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, and it’s a beginner spot, so crowds are possible. Honestly, for most of this, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
There’s nothing else that even comes close. The whole sixteen days is a quiet, flat period. It’s one of those blanks that’s normal for this sheltered area when the swell windows don’t align.

A general guide to surfing at La Nartelle can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
