The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer for the Andora region.
To be straight with you, the whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a bummer. There’s no real swell to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves. The first real window where you’d even bother paddling out isn’t until Friday the 21st of August, and even then, it’s just a glimmer.
The water temp is a wild story right now – it’s clocking in at 84°, which is a massive 9° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, feels like a bath.
Okay, so the only day that even comes close to a surf session is Friday the 21st of August. The morning at Andora looks like your best bet. Swell is a small 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short period, windswell, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly. The combined energy is moderate (134), so it’s got some push, but it’s not a powerhouse. The wind is a clean offshore from the NW, which is a major positive. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it can get crowded. The swell is pushing 4ft, right on the edge of being too big for absolute beginners, but for a confident learner, it’s doable. The afternoon gets messy – a risk of thunderstorms and a strong cross-shore wind blows it out.
The rest of the week? Don’t bother. The 22nd and 23rd drop back to ankle-biters. Then we hit a dead zone. From the 26th of August right through to the 2nd of September, the combined swell energy is either zero or in the single digits. There’s nothing happening. The forecast shows a few tiny pulses on the 28th and 31st, but the wave heights are under 3ft and the periods are so short the waves will just be bumpy and unsurfable. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, so it’s a washout.
Honestly, this is a patch that’s normal for the area when the swell goes quiet. It’s a blank run. If you’ve got a kite, you might find some fun in the onshore breezes, but for a surfboard, the setup is just not interesting.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday morning is your only window, but keep your expectations low. The long-range stuff looks like more of the same flatness.
Rusty.

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.
