The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for La Nartelle.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing doing, with the first real chance of a wave not showing up until Thursday, September 10th. Before that, from Saturday, August 29th right through to the 9th, it’s basically a write-off. A few tiny ripples of 0.3ft to 1ft here and there, but the energy is next to nothing (single-digit values), and the period is way too short. The water is a balmy 78°F with a temperature anomaly of 5°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
The first glimmer comes on Thursday morning, September 10th. We get a touch of waist-high swell pushing 3ft out of the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 62 – just enough to get a little wobble on the sandbar. The wind is light from the NNW, so it’s clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town. The break is sheltered, so it needs the swell to really wrap in. It’s inconsistent, so don’t expect much.
The best on offer, and I mean the only thing worth paddling out for, is that Thursday morning session. The swell size is small, around 3ft, and the direction is from the ESE. The wind is light and offshore, making for clean conditions. Crowds are possible here, but with this tiny surf, I reckon you’ll have it mostly to yourself. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so it’s a good spot for a longboard or a foamie. The combined swell energy is weak (62), so it’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s a wave.
After that, it dries up again. The rest of the 16-day window shows nothing but zeros and tiny, unrideable bumps. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with a single, brief window of mediocre surf. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.

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.
