Alright, grab a coffee and listen up.
To be straight with you, the outlook for our patch here is a long, quiet stretch. There’s not a single session that I’d call a standout over the next two and a half weeks. We’re looking at a big gap of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions, so if you're keen on getting wet, you might want to check in elsewhere.
Right now, starting Tuesday, July 7th, it’s tiny. We’re talking 0.7ft of weak, short-period wind swell out of the SSE, with a cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a measly (1). It’s not worth paddling out for. That flat spell stretches on and on. We get a brief blip on the morning of Wednesday, July 8th, when the wind goes glassy, but there’s zero swell. Same story for most of that week and into the next.
The only time we see any real movement is very late in the forecast. On Sunday afternoon, July 19th, we might see a tiny 1ft pulse from the ESE with a period of just 2 seconds. The combined energy is only (3). But with an onshore wind at 9 mph, it’s going to be a messy, weak dribble. Then, on Tuesday, July 21st and Wednesday, July 22nd, the wind finally turns offshore and clean. On the 21st, we get a fresh 19 mph offshore from the W with a cross-offshore breeze on the morning of the 22nd. The problem? There’s no swell for the wind to work with. It’s just clean flat water.
All of this is at La Nartelle. It’s a sheltered, beginner-friendly break that is inconsistent at the best of times, so a long flat run like this is not unusual for the area.
Keep an eye on the sky, but for now, the board stays in the shed. 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.
