The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days look like a write-off for La Nartelle. The finder is showing zero recommendations for the whole period, which is a tough one. The water is sitting at 78°F, which is over 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, and it’s making things feel a bit stagnant.
The first three days are completely dead. Wednesday 2nd September through Friday 4th September have zero swell energy (0). The winds are a mix of glassy and light cross-off, which would be dreamy if there was a wave, but there’s not a bump. Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th are the same story – clean skies but no swell to work with. On Sunday 6th afternoon, a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell shows up with a period of 3 seconds and combined energy of just 1, but that’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
The pattern continues through the entire first week and into the second. Monday 9th September morning brings a 0.3ft SE swell with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 1, but it’s paired with a moderately strong offshore wind from the WNW at 15 mph. The water is clean but the wave is too small to do anything with. The rest of the week is a carbon copy – tiny, weak pulses from the east or southeast, never exceeding 1.0ft, with periods under 5 seconds. The combined energy stays in the low single digits for every single record.
From Monday 16th September onwards, it’s the same old story. A 0.7ft easterly pulse on Thursday 17th September with a 3-second period and combined energy of 1 is all we get. The wind is solid offshore from the west at 15-22 mph, but a wave that small and that short period is just a wind slap. The setup here is a sheltered, east-facing beach, and with the swell direction never matching the optimum east, it’s a flop.
There are no standouts. No best day. You’re looking at a 16-day gap with no decent surf. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is unfortunately normal for the area. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy windows on Friday 4th morning or Monday 7th morning are the cleanest you’ll see, but there’s nothing to ride. Keep your eyes on the forecasts; things can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.

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.
