Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s headed our way.

Honestly, it’s a flat spell for a long stretch. We’re looking at a good 11 days with barely a ripple on offer. There’s nothing to get excited about from Monday the 13th of July right through to late in the week after that. For the most part, the swell is tiny—like less than half a foot to one foot—and the period is short, so there’s just no push. It’s a tough run.

The one spot to look at is Andora. It’s a beginner-friendly break and fairly consistent when there’s something, but for most of this forecast it’s not doing a thing. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year — that’s really unusual, the ocean feels like bathwater.

Surf starts showing a pulse around Monday the 27th of July. That morning we get a small 1 ft swell out of the southwest, with a gentle cross-off wind from the NNE at 9 mph. Things clean up okay for a paddle. The combined energy is just 6 — weak. By the afternoon, it improves a bit: 3 ft from the same SW direction, with a 5-second period and 47 energy (still moderate). The wind shifts cross-shore from the NE at 9 mph, so there’s a little chop but it’s rideable.

Tuesday the 28th of July is the real stand-out, so mark that one. The morning at Andora sees a 3 ft SSW swell, period at 6 seconds, combined energy at 66 (moderate). The wind is light off the N at 3 mph — that’s glassy clean surf. It’s a small but fun wave for the beginners. The afternoon builds to 4 ft from the SSW, period still 6 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 153 (moderate). That’s the best size we get in the whole outlook. The wind goes light onshore from the SE at 6 mph, so it gets a little bumpy, but it’s still the pick of the fortnight.

Best on offer: Tuesday the 28th of July, morning session at Andora — small but glassy and clean. Don’t expect a classic, but it’s the only real window we’ve got.

Rusty.
