Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Andora’s looking at a pretty bleak stretch, I gotta be honest. There’s a big gap of dead flat days or tiny, junky scraps right through most of the period. From Monday the 20th of July, we’ve got nothing but tiny swell and wind that’s never quite right. The best you’ll see is a 1 ft bump from the south or southeast, but the period is short—under 8 seconds—so there’s no push or shape to it. The combined wave energy is weak, barely hitting 5 to 9 (combined energy of all swells directed here: 5 to 9). It’s just poor surf conditions across the board.

The wind is mostly light, but it’s cross-off or onshore, never truly offshore. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The spot itself is a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly exposed to the south swell, and it’s “fairly consistent” but that doesn’t mean much when the swell is this small. Crowds are often a problem here, but with this lack of surf, you’ll probably have it to yourself.

That blank run stretches from the 20th all the way through the 30th of July, with only a few days showing any wave height at all, and even then it’s below 2 ft. There’s a tiny bump on the afternoon of the 28th of July, with 3 ft from the east-southeast, period 5 seconds, and combined energy of 41. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. The wind is onshore and light, so it’s not clean.

By the 2nd of August, we get a little more energy—1 ft from the southwest, period 6 seconds, combined energy 16 (combined energy of all swells directed here: 16). The morning wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the swell is tiny and weak. The 3rd of August morning sees glassy conditions with a 0.7 ft south swell, but again, nothing to get excited about.

There is no standout. No day where the swell, wind, and period line up. The best you can hope for is a longboard on a really small day, and even then, you’re fighting short-period, weak swell. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup might look more interesting than paddle surfing, because the wind is light and the swell is too small for a proper wave. But for a surfer? Honestly, it’s a write-off.
