Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the horizon for Andora. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run for the next couple of weeks. We’re starting off with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t be in a rush.

There’s a long gap of tiny, weak surf from Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of the month. Most days show poor surf conditions, with swell heights barely cracking 2 ft and combined energy levels in the double digits or less – we’re talking weak energy (10 to 93 range). Winds are often light, which keeps the water clean, but there’s just no push. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st offer the tiniest glimmer early, with morning swell around 4 ft to 4 ft from the SSW and SW, and light cross-off winds making it look clean. But the period is short, only 5 to 6 seconds, and the energy is still low to moderate (156 on Friday). These are small, weak waves that won’t get your heart racing.

The real interest, and I mean the only standout in this whole 16-day window, arrives on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning session at Andora looks like the best we’re going to see: a clean 4 ft swell from the SSW with a 6-second period, light NW cross-off winds, and moderate wave energy (127). It’s not huge, but it’s the most promising combination. The afternoon that same day jumps up to 8 ft from the SW with an 8-second period and strong energy (786), but the wind swings cross-onshore from the south, making it choppy. That afternoon bump is really only for experienced surfers – too much power and chop for beginners.

For the rest of the first week of September, it fades back to flatness.

One thing to note: the water temperature is sitting at 83°F, which is 8°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit.

So, to sum it up: don’t hold your breath for the next week and a half. If you’re keen, the morning of September 2nd is your best shot – clean, rideable, but nothing epic.

Rusty.
