Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next 16 days.

To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of nearly nothing for the paddle surfer. The first real surf on offer is a tiny whisper at Andora, and it's a long way out. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a real standout—very unusual.

Let's break it down. From now through to the middle of the month, it's a total flat spell. Days on end with zero energy, just glassy mornings and small wind ripples. There's a brief moment on August 7th morning with a 0.3ft swell from the southwest at 7 seconds, but it's crossed up and weak, with a combined energy of just (2). Not worth getting wet for. That flat run continues through the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of August. You'll be staring at a lake.

The first hint of anything that might get a longboarder interested is on August 17th, Monday morning. We get a 0.3ft swell from the south with a 8-second period, combined energy of (1). It's clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but it's tiny. August 19th, Wednesday morning, is the only real standout in the whole run. Andora will see a 2ft swell from the SSW, with a 5-second period, and combined energy of (32). The wind is clean and cross-offshore from the NNE, so it will be glassy. The break is fairly exposed to the swell, and with the optimum direction being S, this SSW swell is a reasonable match. It's a beginner-friendly break, and it's "fairly consistent", so it should offer a few rides. The afternoon bumps up to 3ft, but the wind turns onshore, so stick to the morning.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the morning of August 19th is your best bet. It's not big, and it's a long way off, so the forecast is a bit less certain, but it's the only real window of clean, small waves. Before that, it's a board in the shed kind of forecast.

Rusty.
