The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for any decent surf. I’ve been staring at the charts and there’s just nothing happening. The whole period is a write-off, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions. The best we can say is that the water temp at La Nora is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much exactly what you’d expect for this time of year, so at least it’s not going to freeze your toes off.
The first few days are a total bust. Friday the 31st is glassy in the morning, with a tiny 2ft swell from the NW, but it’s got no push – the combined energy is a measly 32. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-on and it’s just messy. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: small, weak, nothing to ride. The entire first week is a dud. The swell never gets above 2ft, periods are short, and the energy readings are all in the double digits – pathetic.
Moving into the second week, it doesn’t get any better. Monday the 4th through to the end of the forecast window is all tiny, weak swell. The best you’ll see is a 2ft bump on the 6th, but that’s with a 7-second period – no power. The wind is all over the place, sometimes glassy but mostly cross or onshore. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a classic mid-summer flat spell. There are no good options, no standouts. You’d be better off doing something else for the next two weeks. Forecasts can change, sure, but right now, there’s nothing on the table.
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.
