The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk surf at La Nora.
The first week and a bit is pretty grim. From Tuesday the 4th all the way through, it’s just tiny, weak surf. We’re talking knee-high dribble with no power. Tuesday morning starts glassy with a 2ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is weak – only 45 – and it’s rated as poor conditions. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story: small, onshore chop.
The first time you might even bother looking at the water is Monday the 10th. The morning goes glassy again with a 2ft NNW swell. Still small, still low energy (84), but at least it’s surfable. Nothing to write home about, though.
The one real standout is much further out: Saturday the 15th of August. That morning we’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a 3ft NW swell. The energy jumps to a solid 216 and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” The afternoon holds up even better – 3ft, glassy, with energy at 241. The wind is calm, the direction is perfect for La Nora, and it’ll be clean. That’s the session to aim for. The water is also running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
After that, Sunday the 16th gets a bit of cross-shore breeze, and Monday the 17th pushes up to 4ft but with a short, weak 7-second period – that’s just lumpy and hard to ride.
So, don’t bother with the first ten days. Saturday the 15th is the one. Mark it down.

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.
