The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for this stretch of coast. To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a flat spell. This is one of those times where the ocean is just taking a breather, so don't get your hopes up for any kind of proper session. The whole run is essentially a blank, with barely a ripple on offer for weeks on end.
The water is sitting around 78°F right now, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, almost tropical feeling in the water.
The first sign of anything at all comes on Saturday the 19th of September. La Nartelle will see a tiny pulse of swell. We're talking about a meagre 1ft from the ENE with a period of only 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is practically nothing at just (4). The morning is glassy, which is nice, but there's just no power in the water. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy. This is really only for the most dedicated longboarder or someone just wanting a paddle.
After that, it's back to dust. There's a long gap of days with absolutely nothing until Monday the 21st of September, when we see a few tiny, weak bumps, but again 0.7ft to 2ft with periods under 4 seconds is not surf. The energy values are all in the single digits, like (1) or (2). It’s a real drag.
The pattern stays dead quiet all the way through to the end of the window. We see another tiny bit of life right at the very end. On Tuesday the 29th of September, the morning looks glassy with a 0.3ft lump from the south, and then Wednesday the 30th of September morning is glassy with a 1.0ft south swell. Both have periods of just 5-6 seconds, so still no real push. The combined energy is still weak, at (4) and (1) respectively.
So, there are no standout days here. No hidden gems. If you absolutely need to get wet, the best you can hope for is a glassy morning with a small longboard on any of those tiny days, but honestly? It's a write-off. Sad to say it, but this stretch of coast just isn't playing ball for the next couple of weeks. Keep checking back, it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.

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.

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.
