Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a flat spell for the most part, I won't sugarcoat it. There’s barely a ripple out there for a long stretch, but stay patient. I can see a little pulse of life trying to push through towards the end of the period, but even that is touch and go.

We’re looking at a long gap here with not much to get excited about. From now through the first week of September, it’s going to be small, weak, and mostly wind-affected. You’ll see days with tiny 0.7ft to 2ft waves on the charts, but honestly, it's not gonna be worth paddling out for. The current water temp is a warm 82°F, sitting quite a bit above what we’d expect for this time of year, so at least if you do go for a swim, it’ll be comfortable.

The first real, albeit modest, sign of life shows up on Monday, the 8th of September. We’ve got a little bump from the SSW pushing 2ft, with the energy reading at 44. It’s a weak pulse, but the winds in the morning are light and offshore from the N, keeping things clean. Still, I wouldn't call it a standout; it’s just the first day where the ocean doesn't look completely asleep.

Things get marginally more interesting on Friday, the 12th. That morning we see the swell start to fill in a bit with 3ft from the SSW and a period of 6 seconds. Nothing huge, but it’s something. The energy is reading 62, so it’s the most push we’ve seen. The morning looks clean with light WSW winds, which is a positive. But don't get too carried away; the afternoon forecast has a fresh 22 mph SW cross-shore wind coming in, which is going to chop it up and make it messy.

Then, the most promising window in this whole outlook arrives on Saturday, the 13th. We’re looking at a 3ft SSW swell with the energy jumping up to 77. It’s still short-period stuff, around 5 seconds, so it won't have that real groundswell punch, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The morning is looking glassy with a light NNW breeze, which is about as good as it gets with these wave heights. Andora (Toscana) handles these soft, lined-up waves fine. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so the conditions should be okay for those just getting into it. Size-wise, 3ft is a little small, but it’s the best on offer. The afternoon looks less appealing as the S winds pick up and it goes cross-on.

So, to wrap it up, there’s a whole lot of nothing for most of this window. Don’t plan your life around it. The call is to check the surf on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th. The Saturday morning, in particular, looks like your best bet for a clean wave, even if it’s not a world beater.
