The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Nora.
First off, the wait is on. There’s nothing worth paddling out for right now and the next few days are pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a dry spell stretching from now until about the end of this week, with only ankle-to-knee high dribble and onshore crud. Not worth getting wet for.
The first real glimmer shows up on Sunday, August 16th. The morning brings a glassy surface with a light NE breeze, and that 4ft swell from the north has a bit more push. The combined energy hits 113 (moderate), but the period is short at 7 seconds so it’ll be a bit lumpy and weak. Not a standout, but at least the wind is kind. The surf is still more ordinary than good though.
Monday the 17th is similar – small and glassy in the morning but tiny and onshore by afternoon.
Now, the real highlight of the whole 16-day window is Saturday, August 22nd. This is the one to circle. The morning flat calm and glassy with 3ft from the NNW, 10-second period, and solid moderate energy of 181 – clean little waves for an intermediate crew. But the afternoon is where it gets interesting: 7ft of NNW groundswell pumping in at a long 13-second period, and the energy reading is a massive 1420 (very strong). That’s a solid, powerful swell. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so the surface will be a little bumpy, but for experienced surfers, this is the best session on offer. This is a standout for the strong and confident, and it’s rare to see that much power at La Nora. The swell direction matches up perfectly with the optimum NNW direction too. Keep an eye on the date.
Sunday the 23rd still has plenty of size with a 5ft NW swell and 10 seconds, but a moderate cross-shore wind will chop it up. It might still hold some fun for experts but it’s getting less clean.
Beyond that, the week 2 drops into tiny, disorganized swells again. A brief mention of Friday 21st morning – 2ft from the NW at 10 seconds, glassy winds, and moderate energy – could give a few knee-high peelers for a patient surfer.
The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama for the locals.
Overall, the main story here is that cold wait through the first week, then a genuine, powerful pulse on Saturday the 22nd that’s the best call of the whole forecast. If you miss that, there’s not much else to chase.
Stay patient, keep an eye on that date.

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.
