The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this isn’t a week for paddling out. The whole 16-day outlook for La Nartelle is a flat spell with just a few tiny, barely-there pulses. There’s a big dry gap from the start all the way through to the end of the month with nothing worth mentioning.
The first real hint of any energy shows up on the morning of Friday, July 31st, but it’s a sad little 2ft swell from the south with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 28. That’s weak, and the morning is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bumpy mess. That afternoon the swell drops to 2ft, and the wind goes cross-onshore, making it even choppier. Not a chance.
There’s a glassy morning on Sunday, August 2nd, but with zero swell, it’s just a mirror-flat ocean. The water temp is a whopping 82°F, which is a staggering 10°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s freakishly warm, like bath water.
The bottom line: there’s no surf to speak of. La Nartelle is an inconsistent, sheltered beginner spot, and for this stretch, it’s completely shut down. The setup is more interesting for a bit of a tan than for a wave. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
