The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Look, I'll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got a real dry spell on our hands. From now through to the 24th of August, it's a total write-off. There’s nothing but tiny, weak waves that just aren't worth suiting up for. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like a bath out there, but there’s just no energy in the ocean to play with.
Then, things finally look like they might kick off. On Tuesday morning, the 25th of August, Andora's due for a pulse of proper swell. We’re looking at a solid 8ft from the SW, and with a north wind blowing cross-offshore, it’ll be clean. The combined energy is pumping at 814 – that's strong wave energy. It’s a short-period swell though, under 8 seconds, so the sets will be a bit more frequent and a bit less organised. For a beginner spot, that size is pushing it; it might be a bit full-on for the groms. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The afternoon of the same day shows even bigger energy at 1130 with 10ft swell, but the wind swings cross-shore and conditions look a bit more marginal and questionable, so I’d be getting in the water early.
After that little spike, it fades back to nothing again. Thursday the 27th of August onward is pretty much flat or tiny until the end of the forecast period on the 31st. A bit of a tease, but that Tuesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar if you're desperate for a wave.
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.
