The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat about what’s coming up at La Nora.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed affair, but a couple of sessions are worth marking on the calendar if you time it right.
The water’s about 71°F, which is a touch warmer than you’d normally see for this time of year.
We get going proper on Friday, August 28. There’s a clean morning with some size—7ft from the WNW, cross-off wind. There’s decent power behind it, with the combined swell energy at 541 – moderate but solid. That’s one of the better early windows, but the swell is over 5ft, so beginners are best sitting this one out.
Saturday, August 29 morning is a real winner. The ocean goes glassy with a clean 4ft swell out of the NNW. The combined energy is 240, no wind, glassy. That’ll be a lovely session for the intermediate surfer. Just know it gets crowded here often.
There’s a solid run from Tuesday, September 1 through Wednesday, September 2. Tuesday morning is glassy again, 5ft from the NW with a period around 10 seconds, and combined energy at 472. Expect good conditions. Wednesday morning is much the same: 4ft from the NW, glassy, combined energy 384 – a strong, consistent stretch.
Then we have a big one on Tuesday, September 8. There’s a massive 10ft groundswell from the NW with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the combined energy rips in at 4827 – that’s very strong. This is for experts only—way too big for anyone else. Since La Nora is a beach and point setup, that long period could make the beach sections a bit straight, but the point might hold some gems. Wind is light cross-on, so not perfect, but for size hunters, it’s the standout of the whole outlook—though it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Otherwise, there are a lot of mornings with small, clean surf—around 2ft to 4ft—but mostly with poor conditions or ordinary waves through the rest of the 16 days. There’s a gap of smaller, less exciting surf between the end of August and the big swell in September, but it never goes totally flat.
Best bet: Saturday, August 29 morning for clean, fun waves, and circle Tuesday, September 8 if you’re an expert chasing something serious.
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.
