Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about what’s on offer here. Straight up: the outlook for La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks is pretty much a bust. We’re staring down a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The combined swell energy never even gets into triple digits – it tops out at just 9 in the whole run, which is about as weak as it gets. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a full 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and while it feels nice, it doesn’t help the surf.
Let’s walk through it. From Monday the 6th of July, there’s basically nothing. The first few days show tiny windswell – like 0.7 ft to 1 ft – with periods of just 2 to 4 seconds. That’s short-period, weak, messy stuff. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not worth getting wet.
Wednesday morning the 8th is flat. Thursday the 9th offers a 1.0 ft to 1 ft easterly windswell, but it’s blown out. Friday the 10th is flat again. Saturday the 11th has a moment – a glassy morning with 0.7 ft from the east, but that’s tiny. The afternoon picks up slightly to 2 ft, but period is still short at 4 seconds and the wind turns onshore. Not enough push for a proper wave.
Sunday the 12th sees the most “energy” of the whole forecast – a whopping 9 on the combined scale – with 2 ft at 4 seconds from the east. But it’s onshore or cross-onshore both sessions. That’s a no-go.
From Monday the 13th through to the end of the run, it's flat or close to it. There’s a period around Friday the 17th where a 0.7 ft southerly shows up with a period of 5-6 seconds and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is just too small. Then the 19th and 20th of July bring in strong offshore winds – 28 mph dropping to 16 mph – but with no swell at all. Clean skies but no waves – torture.
Bottom line: for the next 16 days, there’s not a single decent wave on the cards. La Nartelle is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those stretches where you can leave the board in the car. It won’t stay this quiet forever – forecasts can change – but right now, if you’re not kiting in that offshore wind, there’s nothing here for a surfer.

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.
