The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for a good long while. There’s a big ol’ gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting at a balmy 78°, which is much warmer than we’d usually expect for this time of year, but that’s about the only excitement.
We’re looking at zero surf for the first two weeks. Nothing on the 3rd, nothing on the 4th, nada all the way through to the 16th of September. Just clean mornings with no swell, or small windswell junk under 2 ft that’s barely worth a mention. It’s a blank run.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 17th of September, we finally get a pulse. A small east swell of 4 ft starts showing up, with a period of 6 seconds – so short-period, windswell stuff, but it’s coming with clean conditions and that cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined wave energy is moderate at that point (106). It’s not a classic groundswell, but it’s the only window that even registers a score. For a beginner-friendly spot like La Nartelle, this could be a little window for a splash. The swell direction is from the east, which is what the spot likes to see.
That afternoon, though, the wind swings onshore from the ESE and the swell jumps a bit in energy (262) but the quality drops out.
Honestly, the only standout in this whole 16-day forecast is that Thursday morning session on the 17th. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your shot. It’s small, it’s weak, but it’s clean. Everything else is a write-off.
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.
