The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the imperial take. Same story, different numbers.
Water temp is sitting at about 70°, which is way warmer than usual for the season, so you’re good in a shorty or just a rashguard.
The start is a dead loss. From Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 20th, it’s all poor surf – tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, with short, weak periods and onshore or cross-onshore wind. That’s a full five-day gap. No recommendations worth a damn. Wave energy is all under 100 (weak) for most of it, not even hitting moderate until Sunday afternoon.
Monday the 20th afternoon sees the swell push to about 5 ft from the ENE, but with a short 6-second period and 15 mph cross-shore wind, it’s a messy cross-chop. Energy is moderate at 373, but quality is zero.
Tuesday the 21st stays rough – 5 ft in the morning with cross-shore wind, still only marginal.
The one true standout is Wednesday morning the 22nd of July. Swell drops to 5 ft from the NNE, 7-second period, but the wind goes dead calm and glassy. That’s the call. Clean, knee-to-waist high fun for intermediates. Wave energy is 172 (moderate). Get out early because the wind goes cross-onshore by afternoon.
After that, it’s back to small and weak through the end of the month. A few glassy mornings on the 23rd, 24th, and 26th, but swell is under 4 ft, and energy is low (under 203). Not worth the effort.
The last chance is Friday the 31st morning – glassy again with 3 ft NW swell and a better 9-second period (groundswell), energy at 175. It’s surfable but nothing special. With longer period, it might straighten out at a beach break, but La Nora’s point section could work.
The best bet: Wednesday morning the 22nd of July. Glassy, clean, fun-sized.
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.
