The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. I’ve been looking over the charts for La Nartelle, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a rough outlook. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat.
We start off Saturday the 18th of July. There’s a tiny pulse of swell, 1 ft from the south, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds. The combined energy reading is just 3, so there’s no power. The water is a warm 81°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s out of the ordinary. Sunday the 19th is even smaller, and it just doesn’t pick up from there.
The real story here is the lack of any decent swell. We get a few days with a bit of a bump, like Wednesday the 22nd afternoon with 3 ft from the east-southeast, but that’s onshore wind and a short period. The wave energy hits 45, which is still weak. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
For a break that’s sheltered and inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run. The wind does go glassy a couple of times, like Tuesday the 21st morning and Wednesday the 29th morning, but there’s simply no swell to ride. A beginner spot like La Nartelle needs a bit of push, and it’s just not there.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board in the car and find something else to do.
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.
