Andrómeda is a surf spot known for its hollow and powerful right-hand waves. It can handle swell sizes up to 9 ft (2.8 m), making it a thrill for surfers looking for something a bit challenging. While it’s not always crowded, it's worth checking out for those who can handle the conditions.

The optimal swell direction for Andrómeda is Southwest, but it also works with swells coming from the South and Northwest. It breaks over an uneven reef, creating a unique wave pattern that can keep things interesting. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers, with the waves rolling in best at low to mid to high tide. Expect the preferred wind direction to be coming from the East, which helps shape those nice right-handers. Andrómeda can still handle some decent swell sizes even at around 6 ft (1.8 m).

When you're planning your session, just remember that the water can be a bit choppy due to its proximity to the harbour and tanker terminal, which might affect the overall experience. So, it's always good to be prepared and check the conditions before heading out.
