Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Alright, so listen, I'm gonna be straight with you. The next 16 days here at La Nartelle are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of nothing but flat, poor conditions coming up, so don't get your hopes up too high for any proper sessions. The water is sitting at a very unusual 76° – that's much warmer than normal for this time of year – but you won't be needing a wetsuit for any waves, that's for sure.
The trouble starts now. From Sunday the 5th right through to around Friday the 17th of July, it’s a real desert. A whole lot of days with zero combined swell energy (0), and whenever there's a tiny ripple of 0.7ft or 1ft, it’s either onshore or cross-onshore, coming from directions like ENE or SE with short periods of only 2 to 4 seconds. That's just wind chop, not surf. The wind keeps switching around, and just when you think a morning might go glassy, the afternoon gets ruined by a breeze from the east or southeast. Tuesday the 7th morning was glassy, but there was literally no swell to ride (0 combined energy). It's frustrating.
Even the latter part of the window doesn't offer much hope. The best we see is on the 17th of July, Friday morning, where there’s a tiny 1ft swell from the south with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of only 6. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might be just about ankle-biters. But honestly, for a sheltered spot like La Nartelle that prefers east in the swell, this tiny south pulse won't do anything. The 19th of July, Sunday afternoon, shows a 0.7ft from the ENE with light offshore wind, but again, the energy is just 2 – it's flat.
It's just one of those blank runs for the area. La Nartelle is an inconsistent beginner spot at the best of times, and with the swell completely absent and the wind all over the place, there's nothing to recommend. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The wind later on, like the moderate offshore on the 14th, is just creating clean but flat water. If there was any swell, we'd be in business, but there isn't.
So, for now, I'd say leave the boards in the car. It’s a tough one, but forecasts can change, and this run can't last forever.
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.
