The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a flat spell. There's not a lot to get excited about. We've got a long gap here with no real surf on offer. The first recommendation isn't until the 18th of August, and even then, it's tiny.
For the first week, we're looking at wave heights that barely get off the deck, mostly between 0.3ft and 3ft. There's some clean conditions early Wednesday morning the 19th with a light offshore, but the swell's only 0.3ft. Not worth wetting the suit for. Thursday morning the 20th has a bit more size at 3ft from the SSW, and the wind is light and cross-off, so it will be clean, but the energy is weak (36). The same goes for Friday morning the 21st, with 2ft and clean conditions again. The problem is the swell period is only 5 seconds, so these are just wind slop, not real waves. You'd be bobbing around with nothing to ride.
There's a brief spike on Thursday the 27th of August in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds and moderate energy (211). But the wind is straight onshore, which is going to mush it all up. It's still pretty average.
The standout, if you can call it that, is actually a bit of a weird one. On the 29th of August, Saturday morning, we get glassy conditions at Andora, with the wind dropping to nothing. The swell is only a pathetic 1ft from the SSW, but if you're desperate for a skim on a longboard or a foiler, it might be your only window. The water temperature on the 18th is 84°, which is 9° warmer than usual. That's very unusual, so at least you won't be cold waiting.
From the 30th of August onwards, it's nearly dead flat. There's no surf of any consequence. The end of the forecast into the 2nd of September shows a few 1ft to 2ft pulses, but with strong onshore winds on the 1st hitting 31 mph, it's going to be a washing machine. The 2nd of September morning looks clean with a light offshore, but at 2ft, it's still a beginner-only affair.
Overall, it's a pretty bleak outlook. The swell just isn't there, and when it does show up, the winds ruin it. Keep the board in the rack and wait for the next system. Rusty.

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.
