The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast for La Nartelle, but in feet and Fahrenheit.

It’s a tough outlook, folks. We’re lookin’ at a big gap of nothing to start. The first real chance of a wave won’t be until Thursday, August 27th, and even then it’s a struggle. The water is a warm 80°, which is a crazy 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, feels like a swimming pool.

So, Thursday morning the 27th, we get a pulse of swell. It’s about 4ft from the east, with a short, weak period of 5 seconds – that’s gonna be a mushy, lumpy mess. The onshore wind from the ENE at 15 mph is gonna chop it up. The combined energy of all swells is only moderate (57). That afternoon, the swell picks up to 4ft from the east, still short at 6 seconds, and the wind cranks to 19 mph from the ENE. It’s blown out, nasty. This is a kite or windsurf day, not a paddle day.

Friday the 28th, the swell drops to 2ft from the south in the morning with a light onshore breeze. It’s weak. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 9 mph, but it’s only 2ft of south swell. Energy is low (25). You might catch a little knee-high ankle-snapper if you’re a beginner, but it’s marginal.

Saturday the 29th has a clean offshore wind from the west at 19 mph, but the swell is practically gone – just a tiny 0.3ft from the south. Not worth it.

Then it’s a long, flat spell. From Sunday, August 30th, all the way through Tuesday, September 8th, there’s nothing but zeros. A few mornings with glassy or clean offshore winds, but no swell. For the windy days, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for us paddle surfers.

So, the best on offer? If you’re itching, Thursday the 27th afternoon has the most size, but it’s a messy, blown-out 4ft east swell. Not a standout. For a cleaner but tiny wave, Friday 28th afternoon is your best bet. But honestly, leave the board in the car. This is a classic blank run for the area.

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.
