The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for Andora, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a pretty flat stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking slim, real slim. Let me break it down for you.
Right now, it’s dead calm. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’re gonna be swimming in bathwater if you get in.
From Wednesday the 12th right through to Friday the 21st of August, there’s basically nothing on the cards. It’s a long, quiet gap. You’ll see a few tiny ripples, periods of glassy mornings, and a few cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is just not there. We’re looking at waves under 3 ft, with periods of 4 to 6 seconds—weak, short-period junk. The combined energy sits at basically zero (0 to 30), so it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning brings a 5 ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s still a short-period, weak swell, but combined energy jumps to 250, which is moderate. The wind is light and clean from the north, so it’ll be rideable, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” The afternoon glassed off, with a 4 ft swell from the same direction and energy at 144. It’s not great, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it drops back to nothing. Sunday the 23rd has a tiny 2 ft swell, and then we’re back to flat through to the end of the period on the 27th.
The only break we’ve got is Andora itself. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the south. The optimum swell direction is from the south, so when that little burst of SW swell hits on the 22nd, it’s at least coming from the right direction. Crowds are often here, so expect company on that Saturday.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Saturday morning of the 22nd is your best bet, but it’s not worth getting excited about. This is a long, quiet run for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

Information about the Andora Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Andora provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Andora can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Andora 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 (Andora) 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 Andora 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.
