Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, it's Rusty. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this outlook for Andora is a real quiet one. There's a long stretch of nothing at the start, so we're looking at a solid week or more of flat, poor surf conditions. From August 5th right through to the morning of August 18th, it's basically all "poor surf conditions" with wave heights barely reaching 2 ft, if that. The energy is almost non-existent, with numbers like 1 or 2 (weak energy), and the periods are short, around 4 to 7 seconds. The wind is often light and variable, but there's just no swell to work with. You'd be better off swimming. There's a gap of over 12 days with no real recommendations here.

Then, finally, on Tuesday morning, August 18th, we get a bit of life. The swell at Andora picks up to 4 ft from the southwest, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 108 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light from the north, keeping it cross-offshore and the surf clean. It's not a world-beater, but it's the first surfable wave we've seen. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a full wetsuit just yet.

The next morning, Wednesday August 19th, is a bit of a letdown with the swell dropping back to 1 ft, but the afternoon brings a punchy 6 ft southwest swell with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is a solid 358 (moderate wave energy), but the wind swings to the south at 9 mph, making it a cross-onshore mess. That setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.

So, the one standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. That's your best bet. Clean, 4 ft southwest swell, and light offshore winds. It's not big, but it's the only session that's worth paddling out for. After that, things get messy or flat again. Andora is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly spot, but this is a pretty blank run. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
