The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a quiet one. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat for the most part, with only tiny, weak pulses of energy that won't be worth getting wet for. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much, so don’t be holding your breath.
La Nartelle is our only option on the cards, and it’s a real beginner-friendly, sheltered setup. It’s inconsistent, so you can’t bank on it. The first few days are a write-off. Sunday morning the 23rd of August shows a tiny 1.0ft swell from the ENE with a short period of 3 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 3. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which is clean, but there’s just no power. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
We see a bit of a bump on the 27th, Thursday morning, with a 3ft swell from the East, but it’s got a short period of 5 seconds and the energy is still only moderate at 28. The wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy. Not a standout. Friday morning the 28th is glassy with a 1ft southerly swell, but again, the energy is a weak 10. It’s clean, but you’ll be fighting for a dribble.
Things go completely dead from the 30th of August right through to the 6th of September. Flat spells. Then, on Monday the 7th of September, we get a tiny 2ft pulse from the South with a 6-second period and energy of 21. Light cross-shore wind, but it’s still just a poor surf day.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is probably the glassy Friday morning the 28th, but it’s not much to write home about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the car.
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.
