Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m gonna be straight with you – the outlook for Andora over the next 16 days is a real tough one. There’s a big, empty gap staring us in the face right from the start. We’ve got absolutely nothing recommended for the first week and a half. From Saturday the 1st all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, it’s just a flat, poor run of tiny waves and bad conditions. The swell is basically non-existent, with heights barely scraping 1 ft and periods under 6 seconds, weak energy readings in the single digits (11 or less), and onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up what little bump there is. You’re better off doing something else.

Then, on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, we finally get a pulse. The swell shows up at 4 ft from the SW with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 75 (moderate). The wind is a clean, light offshore from the N at 6 mph, which is a solid positive. This is the only real standout in the whole window. It’s not huge, but for Andora, a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly exposed to a S swell, that 4 ft SW groundswell with glassy conditions is about as good as it’s gonna get. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. Keep in mind, this spot sees crowds often, so you won’t be alone.

After that, it fades again. The 10th of August has a morning with 2 ft from the S, period 6 seconds, clean offshore wind, but the energy is only 33 and the quality is still poor. By the afternoon and the rest of the week, we’re back to flat, tiny junk – 0.7 ft, 1 ft, with onshore winds and energy readings in the single digits. The 16th of August ends the run with a clean morning but no swell at all. Honestly, it’s a thin run. The break is fairly consistent, but with no swell, consistency doesn’t mean a thing. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t playing ball.
