The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole stretch, it's a pretty grim picture for La Nartelle. The entire 16-day run is plagued by poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a real dry spell starting now and lasting all the way through to the 13th of September – that’s nearly two weeks of barely a ripple. Most mornings will be clean and glassy with light offshores, but with zero swell to work with, it’s just flat. The afternoons are generally chopped up by light cross-onshore breezes. There’s simply nothing to ride.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on the 14th of September. Monday afternoon brings a little easterly swell at 4 ft, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 123 (moderate). The wind is onshore and messy though, so it won't be pretty. The swell builds on the 15th of September, Tuesday morning hitting 6 ft from the ENE with 7-second period energy at 479 (strong). But with a steady cross-onshore breeze, it's going to be a choppy, bumpy mess. That’s going to be a real challenge, and at that size, it's pushing past beginner territory and into expert-only, ugly surf. Tuesday afternoon drops back to 4 ft and stays onshore. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 79°F – that's 7°F warmer than average for this time of year.
There’s no standout session here. The only day with any real size, the 15th, is let down by the wind. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I wouldn't be waxing the board up for this one. The small whisper of cleaner conditions on the 16th, Wednesday morning, is just 1 ft – barely a knee-high dribble.
Keep an eye on the long-range models, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
