The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the 16-day window for La Nartelle, the honest truth is there’s nothing on the table that qualifies as a good surf option. The entire forecast is a flat spell with poor surf conditions. We’ve got a long gap here with no real recommendations from the start right through to the end of the period on August 3rd. It’s a dry run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.
The first hint of anything on the board comes around Friday morning, July 24th. We see a little bump of swell from the ENE, pushing about 3ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. The combined energy is only 71 (weak), and the wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’s not going to be clean. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions," and I’m not going to argue with that. It’s a sheltered spot, and without a proper groundswell from the east, it’s just not doing anything.
The rest of the period is a mix of tiny waves – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft – with periods often under 5 seconds, and mostly cross-on or onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy moments, like Tuesday morning, July 21st, and Thursday morning, July 30th, but with zero swell energy (0 combined energy), you’re just staring at a mirror. You’d be better off with a flat paddle than a surfboard.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting for nothing. But realistically, for the next couple of weeks, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind picks up, but for us wave riders, it’s a bust. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
