The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Nartelle.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. There’s a big gap of no surf at the start, and the couple of little bumps we do see are just too small to get excited about. The water is sitting at 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday the 12th in the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft from the NE, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak (16). The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, which will keep it clean. It’s a beginner wave at best, super inconsistent, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit fat and weak. Not a standout.
The only other pulse worth a mention is on Monday the 21st in the afternoon. We see a 3ft swell from the E, period of 4 seconds, and combined energy of 22 (weak). The problem is the wind is onshore from the ENE at 16 mph, so it’s going to be a messy, choppy close-out. Not worth paddling out for.
Then on Tuesday the 22nd morning, we get a glassy window with a tiny 2ft from the E, period 4 seconds, and combined energy of 6 (weak). It’s clean, but honestly, there’s no push to it.
So, the best of a poor bunch is Saturday the 12th morning. The 2ft NE swell with a light cross-off wind will be the cleanest little dribble of the week. It’s for beginners only, and even then, you’ll be scratching for waves. The crowds are "sometimes" a thing here, but with this offering, you’ll likely have it to yourself.
No real standouts to chase. A long run of nothing for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.
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.
