The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s on offer for Andora.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle out, this is a tough stretch. The forecast is a long, flat run with very little surfable energy in the water. The first actual chance to get wet doesn’t look promising, and for the most part, it’s a waiting game. There’s a dry spell that stretches from the 24th of August right through to the early morning of the 28th, with almost nothing happening. Just a whole lot of clean, flat water.
The only real blip of interest comes on the Friday morning of the 28th of August. We see a pulse of 3ft SSW swell, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 45, so it’s not going to be powerful. The morning is clean with a light offshore wind, which is a big positive. Saturday morning the 29th of August offers a similar story – 2ft of SW swell, period bumping up to 8 seconds, a bit more shape on the longer period, but the energy is still weak at 43. The wind stays cross-off and clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s small.
The water temperature is a scorching 83°F, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal. That’s very unusual, and it’s making things feel tropical.
Andora itself is a beginner-friendly, fairly exposed spot that likes a south swell. The guide says it’s fairly consistent, but this forecast is testing that. When the swell does show up on the 28th, it’s a south-southwest direction, which is a good match for the optimum south swell direction. The crowds are often there, so expect company on those tiny, clean waves.
For the rest of the 16 days, the numbers stay low. A few ripples here and there, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. The 4th and 5th of September are ghost-town flat. It’s a long way out, but the trend is clear.
So, to sum it up: the standout is the Friday morning of the 28th of August for a small, clean, weak wave, and the Saturday morning of the 29th of August for a slightly longer period, but still small. Get there early, because the crowds will be on it. Everything else is a write-off until the forecast changes.
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.
