The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a grim run for Andora. The whole 16-day window is basically one long blank. The water is a wild 84°, a massive 8.5° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, which is a real head-scratcher, but with hardly any swell to enjoy it in.
Looking through the whole forecast, the only time things even get close to interesting is on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. We’ve got a bit of a bump from the SW, pushing in at 3.6ft, with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is still only weak (82). The real highlight here is the wind – it’s glassy. For a beginner-friendly spot like Andora that is fairly exposed, that glassy morning will be the cleanest the ocean looks for weeks. The swell is tiny, but for a learner on a foamie, those little 1.6ft waves might just be rideable.
Other than that, it’s a total desert. There’s a solid week of zeros in the energy readings, with no swell and poor conditions. Even the afternoons that have a little bump get chopped up by onshore breezes. This stretch is so quiet, even a kite surfer would struggle to find much to work with. We’re looking at a poor outlook until at least the start of September, and even then it’s just a whisper of a wave. Keep the board in the car, but don’t drive to the coast for this.

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.
