The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what La Nora’s got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water here is sitting at about 71°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little extra comfort for the paddle out.
The first few days of this outlook are pretty average, to be honest. Monday the 24th has some weak, short-period knee-high swell, but the conditions are just ordinary. Tuesday the 25th is flat, with barely a ripple. We start to see a little bump on Wednesday morning the 26th, with a glassy 2ft swell from the NW, but it’s still small and the energy is weak (64). Thursday the 27th sees the combined energy jump to moderate (366) with a 5ft NW swell, but the wind is messy, making it a marginal call.
Now, Friday the 28th is the real standout in this first week. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is strong (1096) and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, keeping it clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – a peak before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon. If you’re not an expert, this might be a bit too much push.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th calm right down. Saturday morning is glassy but small (4ft) with moderate energy (179), and Sunday is similarly small (3ft) and weak (107). Just small, cleanish waves for a longboard.
We hit a bit of a lull early in the second week. Monday the 1st of September shows 5ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning and moderate-to-strong energy (435) – a good, clean wave. But Tuesday the 2nd drops off again. The next real window opens on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the NNW with glassy winds and strong energy (693). This is a very good option to look forward to.
Then on Tuesday the 8th of September, we get another good morning. A 4ft groundswell from the NW with a long period of 12 seconds, glassy conditions and strong energy (552). For a point and beach setup like La Nora, that long period will bring some nice lines, especially on the point. This one’s a great call for an intermediate surfer looking for quality.
So to sum it up: Friday morning the 28th of August is your best bet for power and size if you’ve got the chops. For the cleaner, more user-friendly waves, keep your eyes on Sunday the 6th and Tuesday the 8th of September.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.

Information about the La Nora Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Nora provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Nora can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Nora 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 Nora) 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 Nora 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.
La Nora is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Gijon. If you plan a holiday in Asturias, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gijon. Gijon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
