The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breakin’ it down for you.
It’s gonna be real quiet at first. From Monday the 17th to Wednesday the 19th of August, the waves are barely a puff – 0.7m or less, weak as dishwater. Combined swell energy under 56. The wind is all wrong, cross-on or just sloppy. Don’t bother.
Things finally wake up on Thursday the 20th of August. That morning, a northwest groundswell pushes through at 1.0m with a 12-second period, bumping the combined energy up to 304. The wind is light and cross-on in the a.m., but the afternoon turns glassy – dead calm – and the energy climbs to 499. That Thursday afternoon is your best bet in the first week: clean, smooth, 1.0m waves. This is the pick of the lot.
Friday the 21st keeps it going with a glassy morning again: 1.1m from the northwest, combined energy 435. Real nice, easy-going surf for the intermediate surfer. This stretch – Thursday afternoon through Friday morning – is where you want to be.
Then it drops off. Saturday and Sunday go tiny with lousy wind. Monday the 24th has a glassy 0.7m morning that’s rideable but nothing special. Tuesday the 25th morning offers a bump to 1.4m from the north-northwest, glassy wind, and combined energy of 188. The period is short though, only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a little lumpy. Still, a sessionable window.
From the 26th to the 30th of August, it’s mostly poor – rain, cross-on wind, ankle-biters. The one longer-range hope is Monday the 31st of August. The morning shows a 1.1m northwest swell with a 10-second period (combined energy 299) and a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean. It’s over a week out, so don’t book the trip yet, but mark it.
The big standout in this 16-day run is that Thursday 20th afternoon and Friday 21st morning. Glassy, clean, moderate energy from the northwest. That’s your window.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
