The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for Andicuri. The swell is there, no doubt, but the wind is the real story, and it’s not a good one. We’ve got a persistent easterly breeze, mostly strong, that’s going to mess up the surface almost every single day. The water temp is sitting at about 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first call isn’t until Tuesday, August 11th, and we’re starting off with a messy situation. Swell is around 6ft from the ENE with a short, weak period of 7 seconds (combined energy 299). That’s not the issue – the issue is the 28 mph cross-onshore wind. It’s going to be choppy and blown out. That theme just keeps going. Wednesday the 12th is much the same: 7ft to 7ft ENE swell, but that wind stays strong and cross, making for poor waves.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th bring a bit more size. Friday morning sees the swell punch up to 10ft from the ENE (period 8 seconds, combined energy 1261). That’s a lot of water moving, but with a near gale cross-shore wind at 31 mph, it’s going to be a washing machine. This is expert-only territory, and honestly, with those conditions, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
Saturday the 15th through to the end of the first week is a repeat performance: solid swell in the 7ft to 8ft range, but the wind just won’t let up. It stays fresh to strong, always from the east, and always cross or cross-onshore. The period hangs around 7-8 seconds, so it’s choppy, short-period windswell. Not a single day in this first week gets a clean window.
There’s a small gap in quality through the middle of the second week. By Wednesday, August 26th, we see a late spike in size again – 8ft to 10ft from the E, with the energy jumping to 912 and then 1055. The period stays short though, at 8 seconds, and once again that strong easterly wind ruins it. The whole 16-day run is plagued by those easterlies. There just isn’t a standout session in the lot. It’s a frustrating outlook, because the swell is there, but the wind is the enemy.
Keep an eye on the forecast though – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and the wind can shift. But right now, for Andicuri, we’re in for a long, blown-out stretch.

Information about the Andicuri Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Andicuri provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Andicuri can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Andicuri surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Andicuri) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Andicuri may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
