The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. Looking at the next 16 days for our stretch, and it's a bit of a heartbreaker. The pattern shows nothing but tiny, weak swell. We're looking at a whole lot of flat spells.
Right now, and for most of the period, the wave energy is sitting at zero, or barely registering. The first recommendation we get is way down the track, on Thursday the 10th of September. Even then, it’s for La Nartelle, and the water there is a balmy 78.8°, a full 7.2° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual. But the surf? Don't get excited. The swell coming in from the ENE is a pathetic 0.7 ft with a period of only 2 seconds. That’s just wind-chop, not a wave you want to paddle out for. The combined energy is a measly 2. The morning winds are a light cross-onshore, making it choppy, and the afternoon gets worse with a moderate onshore at 12 mph.
It’s a similar story right through the weekend of the 12th and 13th, with the biggest glimpse of swell hitting just 1.0 ft from the E, with a period of 4 seconds. That's tiny, weak stuff with a combined energy of only 3. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore.
The real kicker is that from about midday on the 14th right through until the 19th, it goes completely flat again. Days and days of zero swell, zero energy. There’s nothing to chase. For a break like La Nartelle, which is already inconsistent and sheltered from the swell direction, this is a total write-off. This is one of those forecasts where you hang up the wetsuit and find something else to do.

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.

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.
