The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Let’s talk about what’s ahead for Andora. I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a tough stretch. The next few weeks are looking pretty bleak, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The water’s sitting at a crazy 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty unusual, feels more like a bath than the ocean.
We’ve got a long, dry spell here. From now through to the end of next week, it’s mostly flat or tiny junk. The first real sign of life isn't until Monday the 17th, and even then it’s just a tiny 0.7ft SSW swell with a short 4-second period—weak energy (2). Honestly, that's not worth getting wet for. The wind might be clean in the mornings, but there’s just no push.
It stays small and weak right through the week. We see a little bump on Wednesday the 19th with 2ft from the south, but the period is a short 5 seconds and energy’s still weak (21). Not much to get excited about. Then Thursday the 20th is back to zero.
Friday the 21st finally shows a bit more—3ft from the SSW, but again a short 4-second period, with energy just creeping up to 41. Still poor surf conditions though. The pattern keeps spinning little weak pulses, but every afternoon the wind turns onshore and chops it up.
Then, after almost two weeks of nothing, we get a bit of a spike on Monday the 24th. The morning is glassy, which is a gold star, and there’s a 4ft swell from the SW with a moderate energy level (126). The problem? The period is only 6 seconds, and by the afternoon it’s onshore. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we see in the whole run. For a beginner, that’s a session to keep an eye on if you can get out early.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s nothing that qualifies as a true standout. The swell is tiny, the period is mostly short, and the wind is rarely your friend. If the sun’s out and you just want to sit on a board, it might be okay for a splash, but for proper surfing? This is a stretch of coast that’s having a proper rest.

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.
