The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. Rusty here.
Look, I’m gonna level with you. This is a grim run for the next 16 days at La Nartelle. The whole stretch from now through to the 11th of September is pretty much a flat spell. There’s no surf on offer worth chasing. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off finding something else to do or just staring at the horizon and hoping the forecasts shift.
We kick off Thursday afternoon the 27th with a weak, short-period easterly swell – only 4ft but with a period of just 5 seconds, so it's all chop and no push. The combined energy is weak (81), and with moderate onshore wind, it looks poor. Not worth a paddle.
From there it’s a long, dry gap. Friday the 28th has tiny 2ft and 2ft windswell from the south, but it’s cross-onshore and just messy. Saturday the 29th actually gets a clean offshore wind, but there’s virtually no swell – just ankle-high. Clean but flat. And that’s the story for days: clean winds, glassy mornings, but with zero or near-zero swell.
For nearly a week and a half after that, from Sunday the 30th all the way through to around the 8th of September, we see nothing but flat lines or tiny, useless bumps of 0.3ft to 0.5ft. The offshore winds appear a few times – like Monday morning the 31st, and Wednesday the 2nd of September – but there’s simply no energy in the water to work with. The combined energy values are all in the single digits or zero.
We do get a bit of a flicker around Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning is glassy, and the afternoon sees a 3ft easterly swell pop up with a combined energy of 34. That’s still weak, period is short at 5 seconds, and the wind swings onshore. It’s not good, but it’s the most we see in the whole forecast. Even then, it’s not rideable surf.
After that, the last few days – the 10th and 11th – are just more onshore wind and tiny, weak waves. Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. For a sheltered beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this 16-day window is a total write-off for surfing.
Hang in there. It won’t stay this poor 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.
