The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for ya. Over the next 16 days, La Nartelle is looking pretty bleak for any proper surf. We've got a long stretch here with nothing to get excited about. We start off with a real flat spell.
The first week is a write-off. Saturday the 5th is flat, and that trend sticks around for day after day. There's a tiny blip on Sunday the 6th with some 1ft swell from the ENE, but with a period of 3 seconds and onshore wind, it’s just messy. We go through a full week of no real surf until we finally see something that at least registers. The water temp is sitting at 79°F which is over 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s really unusual.
Moving into the second week, things stay marginal. Sunday the 13th sees the closest thing we get to a highlight. The morning brings a weak 2ft swell from the E with a period of 5 seconds, and light cross-offshore NW wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is only (30) so it's weak, and it is inconsistent here. It'll be tiny and clean, which is the best of a bad bunch. That afternoon the wind swings onshore and choppy.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th see a little more size, with Tuesday afternoon pushing up to 3ft from the E, but that comes with an onshore wind making it choppy, so forget it.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is pretty much a dud. La Nartelle is a sheltered beginner spot and when it goes flat, it stays flat. Even with some offshore winds in the later week, there’s just no swell to work with. It's just one of those runs. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, I've got nothing good to tell ya.
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. 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.
