The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water is sitting at a toasty 81°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in boardies and a rashie, no doubt about that.
The first week is a write-off, I’m afraid. From Sunday the 19th right through to Monday the 27th, the swell is near non-existent, and what little bump there is comes with the wrong wind or no energy at all. You’ll see a few tiny ripples, maybe 0.7ft to 1.0ft, but with poor surf conditions and combined energy barely registering (1), it’s not worth paddling out for. The only real whisper of life comes on Monday afternoon the 27th, when a pulse of 6ft ENE swell shows up with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 193 (moderate), but it’s cross-shore wind and the comment says poor surf conditions. That’s a miss, lads.
Then on Tuesday morning the 28th, we get a brief moment of hope. La Nartelle will see a 3ft S swell, period of 7 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is 136 (moderate), and the conditions are surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not a standout – it’s just a session to get wet. The water is still that warm anomaly, but the waves are nothing to write home about. After that, it drops right back to flat again through the rest of the week and into the start of August.
So, there’s a single day (Tuesday 28th July) that offers a tiny window, but it’s not a classic. If you’re desperate, you’ll get a few small, clean waves at La Nartelle that morning, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re looking at a long gap of flat, glassy mornings and onshore afternoons. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a quiet spell.
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.

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.
