The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the forecast for this stretch, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but right from the start there’s a painful gap. The first few days through the end of July and into early August are a total write-off – no swell to speak of, just flat, glassy mornings that are nice for a paddle but useless for a surf. That dry spell runs for nearly a week before we see anything.
The first faint pulse of energy shows up on Sunday, August 2nd, but it’s barely a whisper. La Nartelle will see a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ENE with a short, weak 3-second period. The combined energy is a measly (1). It’s cross-onshore winds in the morning, going full onshore in the afternoon. This is a sheltered spot, so even a small wind can mess it up. This is not one for the board.
We roll through another flat spell, with a few more days of nothing. The next tiny blip hits on August 5th with a 0.3ft southerly swell, but again, it’s hopeless. The wind is cross-onshore, and the energy is basically non-existent. The pattern of small, short-period pulses and onshore winds just keeps repeating.
The best we’ll see, and I’m using that term loosely, comes on the morning of Tuesday, August 13th. The wind swings offshore from the WSW, hitting 12 mph, which will clean it up nicely. The swell from the east bumps up to 2ft with a 4-second period, giving us a combined energy of (12). It’s still small, but for this break, that offshore wind is a major positive. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where the conditions line up even remotely. Even then, it’s not a standout by any stretch, just the least-bad option. The rest of the fortnight is a dead loss.
Honestly, for this stretch, if you’re desperate for a fix, the August 13th afternoon might give you a few little knee-high walls with a clean face. The water is a very unusual 82°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit. But for proper waves? There’s nothing. This is a blank run for the area.
Stay patient, Rusty.
