Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Andora over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead, so patience is the name of the game.

The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is a solid 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so don't expect a refreshing chill when you get in.

We kick off on Thursday, the 6th of August, with absolutely nothing. Flat. Glassy conditions in the morning, but no swell to speak of. That theme carries on for days. The whole first week is a write-off for surf. Friday the 7th sees a tiny 0.3ft to 1ft of swell, but the winds are all wrong—cross and cross-on—and the energy is pathetic, with combined swell energy reading just 5 to 9. Saturday and Sunday are even worse, with energy dropping to 1.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are still flat or near-flat. We get a brief, tiny pulse of 0.7ft on Tuesday morning, but it's a 5-second period windswell from the SSW with only 2 in energy. Not worth paddling out for.

There's a gap of absolutely no surf recommendations from the 6th all the way up to the morning of the 16th of August. That's a ten-day dry spell. Finally, on Sunday the 16th, we see a little bump. Morning brings a 1ft swell from the south, period of 5 seconds (6 in energy) with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNE. The afternoon sees it push up to 1ft from the south, but the wind swings cross-on from the east, so it gets choppy.

After that, Tuesday the 18th has a similar story: a 1ft from the SSW in the morning with clean wind, and a slightly bigger 2ft from the south in the afternoon, but again, the onshore wind kills the quality. Energy on that afternoon finally climbs to 28, which is still weak. It's just not coming together.

Honestly, if you're a beginner, even those tiny 1ft days are barely rideable. For everyone else, this forecast is a bust. The setup is so weak and wind-affected that it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a couple of those afternoons.

There is no standout here. No day is worth highlighting as good.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, because around here, it tends not to stay poor for long.

Rusty.
