Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’re staring down a pretty flat spell, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board. The first real chance of a wave comes up on Wednesday, July 15th, but it’s a tiny little thing. Truth is, for the first week and a half and beyond, we’re looking at a very long stretch of nothing that’s any good. There are days with no surf at all, especially from the 21st through the 25th of July, where it’s completely flat. That’s a solid four or five days of nothing.

The only spot we’ve got to look at is Andora. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. Remember, it’s a beach break, so with the tiny swell we’re getting, it’s not going to offer much.

The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 81°F.

On Wednesday the 15th, the early morning shows a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, which is clean, but the combined swell energy is a weak 8. The surf is pretty poor. Nothing changes through the afternoon or the next few days. The swell drops to 0.7ft on Thursday the 16th, and the energy is almost nothing (2).

Friday the 17th of July morning is glassy with a 0.3ft swell, but it’s basically flat. The afternoon sees a light cross-onshore wind. We get a few 1.0ft to 1ft pulses around the 18th and 19th, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy stays weak, never even cracking 20.

Looking further out, the 26th of July Sunday morning shows a little more promise. A 1.0ft SSW swell with a longer period of 10 seconds pushes the combined energy up to 20, which is still weak but the best we’ve seen. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean. For a beginner break, that’s the one window to keep an eye on, but it’s still tiny. Monday the 27th morning is glassy with a 1.0ft swell, but again, not much power behind it.

The real standout? There isn’t one. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest little wave will be on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, but set your expectations low. It’s a very small, weak swell. For anyone else, it’s a good time to wax the longboard just in case a tiny ripple comes through, or maybe check the kite gear if you’re into that, because the wind and flat conditions are more suited for it.
