The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the waves for La Nartelle over the next couple weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a total dud. There’s a 13-day stretch where there’s just no surf to speak of. Just tiny bumps, combined energy in the single digits to low twenties, nothing that’ll get you out of bed. A few mornings are dead flat and glassy, like Sunday the 30th of August and Saturday the 6th of September, but with no swell, it’s just a mirror. There’s a little dribble of windswell on the 30th, but it’s side-onshore and choppy.
Finally, on Thursday the 10th of September, we get a pulse. The morning shows swell around 5ft from the south, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 250—that’s moderate push, finally. The wind goes glassy from the WNW, so it should be clean. It’s short-period, so not the most organized, but this is the standout session of the whole period. The afternoon sees it a touch bigger at 5ft, but the breeze swings onshore and messes it up.
Water temp is a balmy 78°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s seriously warm, so ditch the rubber.
La Nartelle is a protected, beginner-friendly wave, but it’s known for being inconsistent, and boy does this forecast prove that. Best bet is to wait for that Thursday the 10th of September morning session.
Keep an eye on the horizon,
Rusty
