Conditions at Andora in August
August: The Annual Minimum
August is the most inconsistent month of the year for surf at Andora. Average swell height bottoms out at around 1ft (0.3m) and the average period drops to 4.1s, the shortest of the year. The wave rose is dominated by SSW (34.7 percent) and SW (18.5 percent) micro-swell, while the northeastern quadrant provides small local pulses; nearly every reading is under 1m. Ideal surfing conditions fall to 6 percent, the lowest of the calendar year. The sea breeze is well established, with winds swinging from S through SSW most afternoons, and this onshore flow chops up what little energy exists. Water temperature peaks at 24.2°C and air temperatures at 23.1°C, making it glorious for beachgoers. For surfers, this is the month to check the forecast for out-of-season tropical lows in the Mediterranean or a rare strong summer thunderstorm, but expect flat, shimmering conditions most days.
