Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a long, flat spell for Andora. The next 16 days are shaping up to be a real quiet stretch, with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first glimmer of any rideable energy doesn’t show up until the 17th, but even that is tiny. There’s a gap of nearly a week with zero waves.

Let’s start with the overall pattern: the water's weirdly warm right now, sitting at 81°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only notable action.

For Saturday the 12th, it's a total write-off. You’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft south swell with a short 4 second period, so no push, and the combined energy is a measly 3. That's not surf. The cross-off wind keeps the surface clean, but there's nothing to ride.

Sunday the 13th through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th – it’s a complete zero. No swell at all. The ocean’s flat, with clean conditions from a light NNW breeze on the mornings, but you’d just be floating. Wednesday morning the 16th is glassy, dead calm, but still no waves.

On Thursday the 17th, we finally see a tiny blip. The morning brings a 0.7 ft SSW swell, still with a 4 second period, combined energy of just 2. It's clean with NNW cross-off wind, but again, not worth it. The afternoon picks up a tiny bit to 2 ft from the SSW, and the energy bumps to 24, but it’s weak. That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, and it’s barely a ripple.

From Friday the 18th through Saturday the 27th of September, it’s the same story – almost nothing. A few 0.3 ft and 0.7 ft pulses here and there, but the energy never cracks double digits. Morning winds are mostly clean, but the swell just isn’t showing up. The afternoon on the 27th has a 1 ft SW swell with just 6 energy, still poor.

Look, this is one of those stretches where Andora just isn’t on. For a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, seeing a blank run like this is unusual, but it happens. Honestly, with the lack of any real push and the onshore breezes picking up in the afternoons on a beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight – forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.
