The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. If you’re looking at the coast around La Nartelle over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna want to sit this one out until the very end of the forecast. The first couple of weeks are a real struggle – tiny, weak, and wind-affected, with hardly any energy to get excited about. There’s a long gap with basically nothing rideable from the start right through to the last week of July.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Wednesday the 29th of July. Even then, it’s not a pretty picture. The morning brings a bit of a southerly pulse at 2ft, with a period of 7 seconds, which is a pretty weak, short-period swell. The combined energy is a moderate 104, but it’s coming in with a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’ll be lumpy and messy. That afternoon, the swell tries to pick up to 5ft from the east, with a 6-second period, and the energy jumps to 204 – moderate and a bit more push. But the wind switches onshore and gets gusty at 9 mph, so it’s gonna be choppy and blown out. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout day in this whole window. The surf is just too small, too wind-affected, or both. La Nartelle is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent, and with this forecast, it’s not even offering a decent session for learners. The consistent lack of quality means a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows aren’t lining up. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
