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.

October at Andran, Spain, offers decent surfing conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 11.2s, suggesting consistent, well-formed waves. The primary swell directions are NW and WNW, which account for the majority of waves in the 1-2.5m range, with NW swells dominating the larger sizes (13.45% at 1.5-2m and 7.91% at 2-2.5m). Smaller swells from the N to NE are present but less impactful. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 36% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) most common from E, SE, and S directions, though stronger winds can occasionally occur from the W/SW. The spot works best on NW swells with lighter offshore winds from the E/NE. Expect a mix of shoulder-high to slightly overhead waves, with the best days offering clean, powerful conditions when winds align. Mid-sized swells with long periods and minimal onshore wind interference will provide the best sessions.
