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.

March at Andran, Spain offers fairly consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.6m and a solid period of 11.8s, suggesting well-formed, powerful waves. The dominant swell directions are NW and WNW, which generate the best wave heights, with 18.8% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 14.45% in the 1.5-2m range from the NW. Larger swells (2m+) are less frequent but still present, mostly from NW and NNW, providing occasional powerful sets. Wind conditions are favorable 31% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) being most common from ENE, ESE, and S directions. Stronger winds (20-30kph+) are more likely from W and WNW, which can create choppier conditions. Overall, March delivers reliable, quality waves with a mix of mid-sized and overhead swells, though wind consistency is variable. Advanced surfers will find the best sessions during NW swells coupled with light ENE or offshore winds.
