La Nora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks start slow, but there’s some real potential once the swell gets going. The standout period is definitely the second weekend and into the following week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Right now, Sunday the 13th morning at La Nora (La-Nora) is just a touch on the small side, with 4ft of NNW swell and a period of 12 seconds. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant enough. The wind is a light cross from the east at 6 mph, which isn’t ideal but it’s not ruining it either. The combined energy is moderate at 493, but honestly, it’s marginal. Not worth rushing out for. Sunday afternoon gets worse with a cross-on breeze, so skip that.

Monday the 14th is even smaller, dropping to 3ft and 3ft through the day. The morning has a light cross breeze, but the energy is weak (210) and it’s just not doing much. Tuesday the 15th is tiny and poor all day – barely worth a mention.

Now, Wednesday the 16th morning is where we see a little glimmer. It’s only 3ft of NW swell with a short 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm at 0 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 208. It’s small and short period, but glassy conditions make it a fun option for a longboard or a fish. Not a standout, but a nice little window.

Thursday the 17th morning is another glassy session with 4ft of NW swell and an 11-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 404. The wind is a slight air from the WSW, so it’s glassy again. This is shaping up to be a clean, if not huge, session.

Friday the 18th morning is where things get interesting. We’ve got 3ft of NNW swell, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 556, but that long period groundswell will wrap nicely into La Nora’s beach and point setup. It’s glassy again, so the waves will be clean and lined up, though with long gaps between sets. This is the first real standout – a classic point break day with clean lines.

Saturday the 19th morning is the highlight of the first week. 6ft of NNW swell at a 13-second period, combined energy is strong at 1130, and the wind is glassy from the WNW. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – solid, powerful, and clean. The crowds are often there, so expect company, but it’ll be worth it. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze and drops a bit, so get out early.

Sunday the 20th morning is another cracker. 6ft of NNW swell, 12-second period, combined energy strong at 1193, and a light cross-off breeze from the east at 3 mph keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers again. The afternoon picks up to 8ft with a 14-second period and combined energy of 2080, but the cross-on wind from the ENE at 9 mph chops it up. Morning is the go.

Monday the 21st morning is the biggest of the run. 7ft of NNW swell at a 14-second period, combined energy very strong at 1700, and it’s glassy – dead calm. This is for experts only. It’s big, powerful, and clean. If you’ve got the skills, this is a session to remember. The afternoon drops to 7ft but gets a cross-on breeze, so again, morning wins.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is still solid at 5ft, 12-second period, combined energy moderate at 615, and a clean cross-off breeze. Very good conditions, but not quite the standout of the previous days.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th see a drop in size and quality. Swell drops to 4ft and then 3ft, with cross and cross-on winds. Not worth the paddle.

Then, Friday the 25th morning is another big surprise. 6ft of NNW swell at a 14-second period, combined energy strong at 1100, and glassy winds. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better on paper with 6ft and glassy conditions, combined energy very strong at 1577. This is a second-weekend standout, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th fall apart with stronger onshore winds and chop. Not worth it. Monday the 28th is blown out too.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Saturday the 19th morning and Friday the 25th morning and afternoon. The 19th is closer and more certain, with clean, powerful 6ft swell. The 25th is further out but looks like a gem – glassy, solid, and clean. Get on it.
