The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a proper look at what’s coming up for Andora, and I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The next week and a half is almost a write-off, with nothing but tiny, messy waves and poor conditions. The water is sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s something, but it won’t help the surf.
We’ve got a long, frustrating gap here. From Thursday 20 August right through to the morning of Friday 28 August, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is either flat or tiny, with short-period junk, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on. It’s not going to be fun.
The one and only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Friday 28 August. That’s the day to circle. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 1133, so there’s real power behind it. The wind is a light offshore from the NW, so the surf will be clean and lined up. That is a proper swell, but listen—8ft is big, and with that period, it’s going to be heavy and powerful. This is expert territory only. It’s a beach break, and with that long period, it might be a bit too straight and dumpy, but if you’re a strong surfer and you know the spot, it could be the session of the month. The crowd profile says “often,” so expect company for the only real day of surf.
After that, it drops right back to tiny, weak, and mostly clean but flat for the rest of the run into early September. A real bummer of a forecast, but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
