Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Andora.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is looking like a tough stretch. There’s a big gap of quiet water right through the middle of the forecast. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of swell bookending the period, but for the most part, it’s a flat spell.

We start off with a couple of days of tiny, weak waves. Tuesday morning, the 11th of August, we’re looking at a mere 0.3ft swell from the SW with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 1, so there’s basically nothing doing. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, which is clean, but there’s just no ocean to surf. Wednesday the 12th is more of the same – 0.7ft at best. The water is a very unusual 84° – much warmer than normal for this time of year.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Thursday the 13th of August right through to Sunday the 16th, there’s absolutely no swell registered. It’s flat, flat, flat. Glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but not a ripple to surf. That’s a solid four-day gap of nothing.

Monday the 17th sees a tiny bump of 0.7ft, but it’s still poor. The real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 35, which is still weak but at least it’s something. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-off wind from the north. For a beginner-friendly spot like Andora, this is about as good as it gets in this window. The wave is small, so it’s perfect for learning, but you’ll have to be patient. The 2ft swell is small enough for anyone, and the clean conditions are a major positive. The wind is light and offshore, so the surface will be smooth.

After that, the swell fades again. Wednesday the 19th drops to 1.0ft, and from Thursday the 20th through to the end of the period, it’s mostly flat with just a few tiny pulses of 0.7ft or 1ft. Nothing worth getting excited about. The best of the rest is probably Sunday the 23rd of August, with a 1ft swell from the SSW and a period of 7 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 22. The morning has a light offshore, and the afternoon is glassy. It’s small and clean, but again, not a standout.

Overall, the one to circle is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. It’s the only time the swell, wind, and conditions line up to give you a clean, rideable wave. Everywhere else in this 16-day window is a bust. It’s a real shame, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
