The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this outlook is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a long dry spell before anything worth paddling for shows up.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until Sunday the 9th of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper. We’re looking at a solid ten-day gap with no good surf. From Thursday the 30th of July through Saturday the 9th of August, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. You’ll see some glassy mornings with waves around 0.6ft to 2ft, but the combined energy is pathetic – often below 50 (weak energy). The wind is light and occasionally offshore, but there’s just no push. It’s a time to wax the sticks and wait.
The one standout in this whole stretch is La Nora – a beach and point setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temp is about 69°, which is normal for the season, so no surprises.
The best option – and I mean the only real option – is Tuesday the 11th of August. Tuesday morning brings a 7ft swell from the northwest with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 958 (very strong wave energy). That’s a proper, groundswell-powered pulse with some real grunt. The wind is cross-onshore from the northwest at about 6 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s rideable. The afternoon stays similar at 6ft, same period, same cross-onshore breeze. This is the pick of the 16 days, but it’s for the experienced crew only. Anything over 8ft is expert territory, and 7ft is still a solid step up – strong paddles and commitment needed. The point break will handle that long-period energy better than a beach break, so the shape could be decent if the tide’s right.
Wednesday the 12th of August still has some swell around 5ft to 4ft, with combined energy in the 200-259 (moderate to strong) range, but the wind stays cross-onshore and the quality drops. It’s not the same level as Tuesday.
So, one morning to circle: Tuesday the 11th of August. After that, it fades back into the ordinary. If you’re not an experienced surfer, this whole 16-day run is a pass. For the rest of us, that Tuesday morning is the only window worth chasing.
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.
