The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch looks like a total bust for surf. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but there’s not a single decent wave on the cards. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Looking at the first spot, La Nartelle, it’s a sheltered, beginner-friendly zone that’s normally inconsistent, and unfortunately that’s all we’ve got to work with. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost like bathwater. But that’s where the good news ends.
We start off Monday, August 10th, with clear skies but zero swell. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, but there’s simply nothing to ride. Tuesday the 11th sees a glassy morning, which would be dreamy if there was any wave energy, but the combined swell energy is a flat zero (0). The whole first week is a write-off – just tiny ripples of ankle-high slop showing up on the 14th and 17th, with a 1ft easterly bump and a period of only 2 to 3 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
Moving into the second week, it’s more of the same. The 22nd and 23rd tease with a 0.3ft to 1ft southerly swell, but the period is still a miserable 5 to 6 seconds, and the combined energy barely ticks up to 5. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little ripple there is. By Monday the 24th, we finally get a clean offshore breeze, but again, zero swell. It’s heartbreaking.
Honestly, this is a 16-day flat spell. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no hope for a wave. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings on the 11th, 15th, and 16th might be nice for a float, but don’t bother bringing your board. For a sheltered area like this, a blank run is pretty normal when there’s no groundswell in the mix. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

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.
