The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a grim run for Andora. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. From now right through to the end of the first week of September, you’ll be fighting for anything rideable. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of – nothing worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 23rd is a write-off. Tiny 1 ft SW swell with a short 6-second period, and only 7 units of combined energy – that’s weak. Light cross-off wind in the morning cleans it up a bit, but the waves are too small and weak to bother. Afternoon is even worse with 0.3 ft.
Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 27th? Basically flat. A few tiny bumps here and there but nothing with any push. On Thursday the 27th morning we see a slight lift to 2 ft from the SE, period still short at 5 seconds, combined energy at 18 – still weak. Wind is cross-off from the north so it’s clean, but there’s no power. Not worth the drive.
Friday the 28th is messy. 2 ft S swell, period dropping to 4 seconds, and cross-winds pick up hard in the afternoon – 22 mph from the SSW making it lumpy and choppy. Combined energy hits 34 in the morning, but the quality is poor.
Now, Saturday the 29th morning is the one bright spot in this whole outlook. Andora sees 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds, combined energy at 66 – that’s moderate energy, the best we’ll see. The wind goes glassy from the NW. That means clean, smooth conditions. It’s the standout of the fortnight. But don’t get too excited – it’s still fairly small and the period is short, so expect weak, crumbly waves. Still, if you’re a beginner looking for something gentle, this is your window.
After that, it fades again. Sunday the 30th morning has 2 ft with light offshore wind, but energy drops to 30. Monday the 31st is back to 1 ft.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning offers 3 ft from the SSW, period 6 seconds, combined energy at 38, and clean offshore wind from the NNW. It’s another session that could give you a few small, clean waves if you’re not fussy. But the afternoon gets chopped up by 16 mph cross-onshore winds.
From Wednesday the 2nd onward, it’s a long slow fade to flat again. Tiny swell, no energy, and only the odd glassy morning with nothing underneath. By the 7th of September, you’re looking at 0.6 ft and no power.
Water temp is 83°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, a whopping 8° anomaly. You won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
Bottom line: there’s only one true standout – Saturday the 29th morning. Glassy, clean, small but rideable. If you’re a beginner, that’s your day. The rest is either flat or too weak and choppy to bother. Crowds are likely at Andora, and given the scarcity of surf, it might feel busier than usual on that Saturday. Keep your expectations low and your board waxed.
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.
