Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Andora over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of tiny or non-existent waves. The first time you’d even see a ripple worth talking about is on the morning of Friday the 24th of July, and even then it’s a pathetic 0.3ft. There’s a gap of several days with absolutely nothing recommended before that, and sadly, the pattern doesn’t really improve.

The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like bathwater. But without any swell to enjoy it, it’s a bit of a tease.

The first slight glimmer comes on Sunday the 26th of July. Morning at Andora will see a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 5 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined wave energy is weak at just 17. It’s barely rideable on a log, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.

Then on Monday the 27th of July, the morning session is the absolute standout of the entire forecast – though I say that with a heavy heart. Swell picks up to 2ft from the SSE, with a 6-second period, and the wind is light from the NNE, making for clean, cross-off conditions. Combined energy is still weak at 48, but it’s the biggest and cleanest we’ll get. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot like Andora, this is your window. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the only real chance to get wet and catch a few.

After that, it falls back into tiny dribbles. Sunday the 2nd of August morning has a glassy 1ft from the SW, period of 4 seconds – clean, but gutless. Wednesday the 5th of August morning has a similar 1ft with a light offshore breeze.

There’s no real power at any point. The combined energy figures never even crack triple digits, meaning it’s all weak, short-period windswell at best. For a beach setup like Andora, this is just a flat spell. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon seabreezes might give you a bit of a thrill, but for paddling, it’s a waiting game.

To be honest, this is one of those blank runs that happens here. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change, but right now, your best bet is that Monday morning on the 27th of July. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.

Rusty.
