Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about what’s ahead.

First off, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window for Andora, and honestly, it’s a flat spell. The swell is pretty much non-existent, with wave heights barely scraping 2ft on the best days and the combined wave energy is weak—hitting a peak of just 24 (24) on the Monday of the 3rd of August. There’s a big gap of no surf at the start, with the first tiny bit of movement showing up on the 24th of July. After that, it’s a string of poor surf conditions with tiny, short-period swell and messy winds. The water is running at 84°, which is a whopping 10° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual, the water is bathwater warm.

The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. We get a little 2ft swell from the south at 6 seconds, but the wind is glassy calm. That morning, the surf will be clean, but it’s tiny. The swell is short period, so it’s just weak, crumbly little waves. For a beginner, it’s rideable, but don’t expect any power. For anyone else, it’s a board-floating session. The afternoon turns choppy as the wind swings onshore from the south.

For the rest of the period, it’s a lot of nothing. The mornings often have light offshore winds from the north, which is a tease because there’s no swell to go with them. The 31st of July morning is glassy, but again, swell is 0.3ft. It’s a frustrating run of clean conditions with no waves.

Don’t bother with the afternoons; the sea breeze from the southeast or east picks up and messes up the surface. This setup is so weak that it’s more interesting for a paddle on a sup than a surf. There’s no standout session here—just a few mornings of clean, flat water.

Rusty out.
