Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—Andora is looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We’re staring down a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions, and there’s no real swell on the horizon to get excited about.

The first few days are completely flat. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are dead, with clean glassy mornings but absolutely no push. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year—about 9° above average. That’s a real standout, but it doesn’t help the surf.

From Thursday the 17th through the 20th, we finally see a little pulse, but it’s tiny. We’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft at best, with short periods around 4 to 7 seconds. That’s windswell junk, not real groundswell. The energy readings are super weak too—the combined swell energy barely reaches 21 on Friday the 18th, and it drops right back down. A couple of mornings on the 17th and 18th have clean, cross-off winds from the north, which is nice, but with waves that small, it’s not doing anyone any favors.

Then we hit a real dead zone from the 21st through the 27th. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The ocean goes quiet, and we’re looking at several days of glassy, flat water. A few afternoons on the 22nd and 26th have some moderate cross-shore breeze, but there’s no swell to shape anyway.

Around the 28th and 29th, a tiny bump tries to show up again—0.3ft to 2ft on Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th—but again, it’s short-period slop with no energy behind it. The combined swell energy is maxing out around 18, which is nothing to write home about. Mornings are clean with light offshore breezes, but you’d be fighting for ankle-biters.

Through the 30th, it fades right back out. We end the window with a little 0.7ft SSE swell at 4-8 seconds, but again, it’s not enough to even wet your board.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s even close to a standout. If you’re a beginner, even the tiny days on the 17th and 18th are marginal—under 2ft, so you’re not going to learn much. And for anyone else, this is a blank period. Andora is a fairly exposed beach break, so it can pick up some swell, but it’s just not happening in this forecast window.

Given how flat and weak it is, and with the short-period, cross-onshore afternoons, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But if you’re a die-hard surfer, you might be better off finding another hobby for the next couple of weeks.

Hang tight. It won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, the ocean’s just not cooperating.
