The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at La Nora for the next 16 days. Fair warning: there’s a long dry spell at the start. From the beginning of the forecast right through until the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. A whole week of flat or messy conditions.
The first real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Wednesday the 12th. Swell is tiny, just 1 ft from the NW, but the wind is glassy. It’s surfable but nothing special, with weak energy (57). The following Thursday morning, the 13th, bumps up a bit to 2 ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds, giving moderate energy (102). Wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a little better.
The one session that stands out above the rest is the morning of Monday, August 17th. We’ve got 2 ft of swell from the NW, period of 10 seconds, and glassy wind – that’s a huge plus for clean waves. Combined energy is 104, so there’s a bit of push. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but with that glassy wind, it’s the best of the bunch. La Nora is a beach and point break, exposed to the NW, and the optimum swell direction is from the NNW, so it’s pretty close. It’s fairly consistent, but crowds are often around, so be ready to share.
Water temperature is 71°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – about 3°F above average, so it’s pretty comfortable.
For beginners, nothing here gets above 5 ft, so you’re fine size-wise, but the quality is so poor for most of the window that it’s not worth the trip. The morning of the 19th of August has 4 ft from the N with glassy wind, but the period is only 7 seconds – short and fat. Combined energy is 117, so moderate, but again, not a standout.
The second week stays average. The morning of the 21st of August has 4 ft from the WNW, but with a short 5-second period and cross-shore wind, it’s messy. Combined energy is 132, but the quality is poor.
Bottom line: if you can wait, aim for the morning of Monday the 17th. Otherwise, it’s a quiet stretch. Forecasts can shift, but for now, keep your board in the car.
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.
