The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the local gen on the next 16 days at La Nora. This is a beach and point setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to swell from the NNW, which is the optimum direction. Water temps are about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a quiet start. Saturday morning, 15 August, is the first surf on offer, but it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at 2ft of NW swell with a short 8-second period, combined energy of just 72 (weak), and glassy conditions. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Then from Saturday afternoon through to Thursday 20 August, it’s pretty much a write-off – poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds and mostly small, weak waves. That’s a solid gap of about six days with no real recommendations.
The first standout I’d flag is Friday morning, 21 August. The morning session is the pick. We’ve got 3ft of NNW swell, 10-second period, combined energy of 271 (moderate), and glassy winds. The direction is spot-on for the optimum and the offshore wind keeps it clean. This is your best bet for a decent wave, and it’s not too big, so intermediate surfers will be happy. Crowds are often at La Nora, so expect company.
After that, things get a bit patchy again. Saturday 22 August has a clean morning with 3ft from the N, but it’s only surfable and very ordinary. Then a long stretch of poor conditions until Wednesday 26 August morning. That morning is another standout – 4ft of NW swell, 11-second period, combined energy of 420 (strong), and glassy winds. The swell is solid, the period is decent, and the glassy conditions make it clean. For experts, this is the best of the long-range outlook, but it’s still over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
The rest of the second week has some marginal moments, like Thursday 27 August morning with 4ft of NW swell and 10-second period, but the cross-shore wind is a bit messy. Friday 28 August morning is glassy but only 2ft, and Saturday 29 August morning has a longer 14-second period but only 2ft from the WNW with a cross-shore wind. The swell quality isn’t quite there.
Overall, the best sessions are Friday 21 August morning and Wednesday 26 August morning. The first is more reliable, the second is bigger but less certain. If you’re after a paddle, aim for those glassy windows.
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.
