The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s looking pretty flat out there for Andora. We’ve got a long wait ahead before anything really worth paddling for shows up. The first real chance of a surfable wave isn’t until Wednesday, September 2nd, so we’re looking at a solid stretch of small to nothing before that. The first week and a half is mostly a disappointment, with most days offering tiny, weak swell and poor conditions.
Looking at the specifics, the first few days from Friday, August 21st through the end of the month are largely a bust. We’ve got some tiny knee-high waves at best, but the conditions are let down by choppy or cross-shore breezes. The water is notably warm – running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 83°F, which is over four degrees warmer than average, so that’s pretty unusual.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window lands on Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning shows a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with light cross-shore winds, but it’s the afternoon that offers the biggest bump. A 4ft southerly swell rolls in with a period of 6 seconds, bringing moderate wave energy (147). That’s the biggest wave height on the cards. The downside is the wind swings from the south at 12 mph, making it a moderate cross-onshore and choppy. It’ll be a bit messy, but if you’re desperate for something with a bit of push, that afternoon session on the 2nd is it. With the size just over 3ft, it’s still okay for most intermediate surfers, but beginners might find it a bit of a handful.
For the rest of the run into early September, it’s small, weak, and often bumpy. A few morning windows around August 29th and 30th offer clean glassy conditions with tiny waist-high waves, but not enough power to get excited about. The Andora break itself is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly spot, but the lack of decent swell and the period never reaching over 7 seconds means the waves will be weak and short.
So, bottom line: hold off until that Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, for the best chance at something surfable – it’s not perfect, but it’s the clear highlight in a long flat spell. For the rest, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
