The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for La Nartelle but in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, the first two weeks are a washout. We’re talking flat to knee-high dribble with combined swell energy barely hitting 2 on Sunday the 6th, and then days of nothing. There are a few clean moments with glassy or light offshore winds, but no swell to go with them. Water temp is 80°F, which is about 8°F warmer than usual – real unusual, like a warm swimming pool. But no waves means no surfing.
Monday the 9th of September morning is glassy but flat. Wednesday the 11th and Saturday the 14th also have clean spells, but still nothing. It’s a long, boring stretch.
Around Saturday the 21st of September morning, we get a little bump: east swell at 3ft with a 5-second period, and combined energy of 27. Wind is light and cross-off from the NNW, so the surface is clean. It’s small and weak, but at least there’s something to mess around on. Sunday the 22nd morning is the best of the bunch. Swell holds at 4ft, still east, period 5 seconds, and energy hits 109 – that’s the first moderate reading. Wind stays light and cross-off from the NNW, keeping it clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t expect much. After that, it drops back to flat by Monday the 23rd afternoon.
So, nearly two weeks of nothing, then a tiny, mediocre window on Sunday the 22nd morning. If you’re really jonesing, that’s your only shot.
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.
