Andran - surf spot statistics

Andran, Spain, offers surfable conditions year-round, but the best months for surfers seeking quality waves and favorable winds are typically between October and March. During this period, ground swells dominate, peaking in winter with January showing the highest consistency (83% ground swells) and largest mean swell size (1.9m). While winter months provide powerful and well-defined swells, wind conditions are more challenging, with only about 30-36% of days offering good offshore or cross-shore winds. October stands out as a transition month, balancing decent ground swells (65%) with slightly better wind conditions (36% good winds). From April to September, swell quality declines as wind swells take over, with summer months (June-August) delivering smaller, weaker waves (0.9-1.0m mean size) and predominantly onshore winds. If you prioritize consistency and wave power, target November to February, though be prepared for stronger winds. For a slightly more forgiving balance of swell and wind, October and March are solid alternatives. Summer is better suited for beginners due to smaller waves, though experienced surfers may find conditions lacking.

In April, Andran offers surfers generally favorable conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid 10.7s period, providing good energy for intermediate to advanced surfers. The predominant swell directions are NW and NNW, delivering the most consistent waves, with the highest frequency in the 1-1.5m range (17.73% NW, 4.11% NNW). Smaller swells from WNW and NNE also contribute, though less frequently. Larger waves (2-2.5m) are rare but possible, mainly from the NW. Wind conditions are ideal for surfing only 28% of the time, with ENE and E winds being the most disruptive, often blowing at 20-30kph (3.36% ENE, 4.00% E). W and WNW winds also frequently reach stronger speeds (3.83% W, 3.84% WNW at 20-30kph), which may create choppier conditions. Light winds (0-10kph) are common from multiple directions, offering cleaner sessions when they align with the swell. Overall, expect manageable waves with decent shape, though wind interference can be a limiting factor—best surfed when winds are light or offshore from the east quadrant.
