The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day run where the surf just doesn’t show up, barely a ripple to be found. The whole forecast is a blank, so we’re not getting a single recommendation. It’s one of those quiet spells for the area that’s more normal than you’d hope, but it never stays flat forever. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
The only spot on the books is La Nartelle. The first few days from Tuesday, July 28 right through to the middle of August are all showing the same story: zero swell energy (0). There’s nothing to ride. Combined swell energy is a complete goose egg, not even a whisper of a wave. You’ll have some glassy mornings on the 29th, 30th, 31st of July, and again on the 2nd and 5th of August, with light northerly breezes – but without swell, those clean conditions are just a flat pond. Later in the second week, on Friday, August 7 afternoon, we finally see a tiny 0.3 ft bump from the southeast with a short 4-second period, and energy at just 2 – still not enough to paddle for. By Wednesday, August 12 morning, the last record shows a 1 ft wave from the east-northeast, period of 4 seconds, energy of 3, and it’s glassy. Even that’s too weak to bother with. This spot is sheltered and inconsistent, and when it’s this flat, there’s nothing to do but wait.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
