The best window, 1:50 am to 3:50 am, lines up with a major period. Also good from 2:20 pm to 5:20 pm, with a major period and sunset. Also good from 6:30 am to 7:40 am, with sunrise.

Species with the most records nearby: white seabream, salema, common two-banded seabream and common octopus. October is one of the months when these are seen most: dusky grouper and red scorpionfish. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Andora

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:46 am 1.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:42 pm 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:22 pm 0.8 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 11 min to low tide at 4:37 am.

In Andora the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 28 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 3 (-0.4 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Imperia station (TICON-4), 8.1 mi from Andora. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Andora

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.5 ft · 4.2 s from the south (177°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 3.9 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NW · gusts 8
Offshore (6.2 mi ENE)Offshore 5 mph NNW · gusts 11

Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northeast (slight).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 68.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.8 °F).

The best window, 6:30 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Andora the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:43–11:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:03–8:03 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Andora) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
