The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s dig into this one.
To be honest, it’s a grim outlook. The next 16 days are a total washout. No surf to speak of at all. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, poor conditions from the 14th of July right through to the 29th. The combined swell energy numbers are pathetic – mostly single digits or zeros, like 18, 12, and 1. Just tiny, weak wind-slop that’s not worth paddling out for. For a spot like La Nartelle (France), this kind of dead run isn’t out of the ordinary, but it’s still a bummer. The water temp is a warm 80°F, which is about 9°F warmer than usual, so it’s like a hot tub, but there’s no waves.
The only clean-looking windows come on the morning of Saturday, July 18th, with glassy conditions and a NW wind at 3 mph, but zero swell. Then on Saturday, July 25th, we get another glassy morning with a NNW breeze at 3 mph, and a tiny 2 ft swell from the east at 5 seconds. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s still poor surf with a combined energy of only 21 – weak. For a beginner break, that’s just not enough to make it fun.
So, stay patient. It’s going to be a while.
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.
