Andora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Andora over the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a long, quiet stretch. We’re lookin’ at basically two full weeks of pretty much nothin’ here. For days on end, the swell energy is flat out non-existent or just a whisper, with the combined energy barely crackin’ a few points at its best. The water temp is sittin’ at a balmy 84°, which is a massive 10° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s more like a bath than the ocean. But that’s where the positives kinda start and end for the surf.

The first real flicker of a wave pops up on Sunday the 26th of July, with some knee-high swell. We’re lookin’ at 0.6ft from the southeast with a period around 6 seconds on the morning session, and the wind looks clean and cross-offshore from the north. The combined energy is still weak at 48, so it’s tiny, but glassy and rideable on a longboard for a beginner. Still, the forecast calls it poor surf conditions, so don’t expect much.

After that it’s back to the dry spell. There are little bits and bobs here and there – tiny 0.7ft or 1ft pulses – but they’re blown out by onshore breezes or too small to do anything with. We’ve got no standout days at all in this whole 16-day window.

Hold on though – maybe a glimmer deep in the second week. By Monday the 3rd of August, there’s another little bump: 2ft from the east, 5-second period, and glassy conditions early. Combined energy is 32 – still weak – but at least it’d be clean. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is always a major positive for smooth conditions, but the waves are barely ankle-to-knee high. It’s not until Tuesday the 4th of August that we see a tiny 0.7ft from the east-southeast with cross-offshore breezes, again clean but hopelessly small.

Look, there is genuinely nothing worth paddlin’ out for across the entire forecast. Andora is just flat, or close to it, for the next two weeks. It’s one of those runs where you’d be better off keepin’ the board in the car and waitin’ for a change in the weather. The area is fairly exposed, sure, but the swells just aren’t showin’ up. Usually this kind of blank run is pretty unusual here, but that’s where we’re at right now. Fingers crossed the long-range models start lookin’ better soon.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the horizon.
Rusty.
