The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for our stretch of coast.
First up, straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you. Looking at the shape of things for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks, it's a pretty bleak picture for a paddle surfer. The finder is showing zero scores for the entire 16-day window, which means there's nothing that even sniffs at a decent wave for us. The combined swell energy sits at a flat zero (0) for most of the period, and when there is a tiny bit of movement, it's barely a ripple with a combined energy of just 1 or 2. We're looking at a long, flat spell, so don't bother rushing down there.
The water is absolutely balmy, sitting at a toasty 80°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's freakishly warm. But with no surf, it doesn't help us much.
Right at the very start, on Saturday the 12th of September, there's nothing. A tiny 1ft easterly dribble shows up in the afternoon with a 3-second period and a combined energy of only 1. That's a windswell with no push, and the wind is onshore. Not even worth a look.
We go through a string of days with nothing but clean conditions and flat water. Glassy mornings on Sunday the 13th and some clean cross-offshore winds on the 15th and 16th, but it's a lake. There's a hint of something on Thursday the 17th morning with a 0.7ft south swell at 3 seconds, but honestly, that's a ripple.
The pattern doesn't change. A tiny 1ft ENE swell on Friday the 18th, again a pathetic 3-second period and combined energy of 2. The rest of the week and into the next is a dead loss. Clean mornings on the 19th, 20th, and 21st, but still flat. There's another little 0.7ft blip on the 23rd of September, but with a 2-second period and energy of just 1.
Even right out to the 27th of September, we see clean offshore wind in the morning, but zero swell. It's a complete blank run.
For a beach break like La Nartelle, which is usually a more consistent spot, this is a shocker. But sometimes the ocean just shuts down. There are no standouts, no windows, nothing to get excited about. With no swell and clean conditions, this setup looks more interesting for a kayak or a paddleboard than a surfboard.

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.
