Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me level with ya. For the next 16 days here at Andora, it’s a classic tale of flat spells and small, sloppy leftovers. Surf is going to be a tough ask. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with almost nothing rideable from the start through late August. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°F – that's much warmer than normal for this time of year, like bathwater.

Let’s break it down. The first recommendation we get doesn’t really show up until Thursday the 20th of August morning. Before that, Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th is pretty much a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Don't bother paddling out.

Thursday the 20th morning offers the best chance we’ll see in the whole outlook. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. That’s weak-to-moderate energy, reading 122. It’s small, but the morning starts clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. For a beginner-friendly spot like Andora, this is your one window. Expect crowds to be possible. The swell direction (SW) isn’t the optimum S direction the spot likes, but it’s the biggest pulse we get.

Friday the 21st morning sees a drop to 3ft from the SSW, with the energy reading down to 104. It’s still surfable but very ordinary. The wind is light and clean, so it'll be ridable for those keen.

After that, it goes back downhill fast. From the 22nd right through until the 31st of August morning, it’s mostly tiny waves or flat. Saturday the 22nd morning has 2ft and glassy conditions, but that is not enough to get excited about. Then there are several days where the swell height reads zero – a real blank run. This is pretty normal for the area when the swell isn’t cooperating.

Finally, on Monday the 31st of August morning, there's a small uptick: 3ft from the SE with a 6-second period. The energy reading is 39 – still weak. The wind is clean, but the size is tiny. Tuesday the 1st of September morning holds similar 2ft from the S.

Honestly, the standout here is that Thursday the 20th morning. It’s not big or perfect, but it’s the only real surfable pulse in a long, quiet stretch. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, get the kiteboard out – with these small swells and light wind days, that setup might be more interesting for kiting than paddling.
