Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on offer for the Andora region. I've had a good look at the charts, and I'll be straight with you – it's a bit of a tough stretch ahead.

We're looking at a long, quiet start. For the first two weeks of this forecast, from now until early August, we're talking about a real flat spell. You'll be looking at days on end of tiny, weak swell that just won't put together anything worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy barely registers, often sitting in single digits (like 1 to 23). There's a run of glassy mornings with no swell at all and others where it's just too small and choppy to bother. It's a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot like Andora, this isn't totally unusual – sometimes the ocean just shuts down for a bit.

But, hang in there, because things start to look a little more interesting as we head towards the second weekend of August.

Saturday, 8th August is your best bet. The morning's the pick. Andora is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, exposed to the south. We'll see some south-southwest swell creeping up to around 3 ft. It's not big, but that north-northwest wind going offshore will have things looking clean. The combined energy is still fairly low at 96, so it's not going to be powerful, but it's surfable. That afternoon sees the swell nudge up to 5 ft, but a cross-shore wind will mess with the shape and it'll look more marginal. Crowds are often here, so don't expect to have it to yourself.

The rest of the forecast just doesn't deliver any other standout options. The swell is either too small, the wind is wrong, or it's both.

So, to sum it up: you've got a long, quiet wait until Saturday morning, 8th August. That's the one to pencil in for a slow, clean session on a small board. Other than that, keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.

Rusty, signing off.
