The Lowdown
Saturday morning the 29th is all glass—dead calm, 1.1m NW, 216 energy—clean as a whistle. And the real standout? Sunday morning the 30th. That’s the pick of the whole outlook. 1.6m NW, glassy, period stretches to 11 seconds with energy at 570. That’s proper groundswell feeling, better shaped, longer lulls. The break is a beach and point, and that longer period will love the point here. Offshore wind direction is NW which matches the optimum swell direction—textbook. Crowds are “often,” so expect company on the best peaks.
Then Monday morning the 31st hangs in there with another 1.6m NW, glassy again. But after that, Tuesday morning the 1st of September has 0.9m NW glassy—still clean but fading.
From Tuesday afternoon the 1st right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s mostly small, cross-shore, or cross-on junk. There’s a small pulse on Sunday the 6th morning with 0.9m NNW and 11-second period, energy 234, but it’s cross-shore and marginal. Same with Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th mornings—1.2m NW to NNW, clean-ish wind but cross-shore, and the energy’s moderate (286–321). They’re rideable but not special.
Honestly, if you’re surfing La Nora, point your calendar at Sunday morning the 30th of August. That’s the one. Glassy, solid 1.6m NW, long period, and the point should line up beautifully. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty out.

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.
