Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me look over what's coming for the next couple of weeks at Andora. Honestly, the 16-day window is looking pretty flat and slow. This stretch of coast isn't catching much energy at all. There’s a real dry spell on the cards.

Right now, Wednesday morning (29 July) is offering a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW, but that's not going to get you out of bed. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the water is clean, but with combined swell energy sitting at just (2), it's basically a lake. That flatness stretches out for days. We’re looking at a gap of several days here with absolutely nothing rideable – through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, right up until early next week. It's a frustrating run of glassy mornings and light winds, but with zero push in the water.

The first real glimmer of something, and I mean a glimmer, shows up on the morning of Saturday, 8 August. That's over a week away, so don't book your trip yet, but there's a pulse of 2ft swell from the SW starting to trickle in. Combined energy gets up to (46), which is still weak but way better than zero. The morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. It's tiny, but on a good sandbank, you might snag a knee-high roller. The afternoon sees it drop back, and the shift to an ESE cross-on breeze messes with the surface.

After that, it fades back to the same story: a few days of 0.6ft to 1ft bumps, all with poor surf conditions and low energy readings. For a spot that's fairly exposed to the south, we just aren't getting the juice. The period on these swells is short, around 4 to 7 seconds, so they're weak, wind-driven lumps, not proper groundswell.

This is a blank run for Andora. If you’re a beginner and just want to sit on a board in the sun, any of those glassy mornings will do for a paddle, but there’s no surf to speak of. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now it's a solid "leave the board in the car" kind of outlook.
