The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the whole 16-day window, this is a tough stretch for Andicuri. The swell is there, but the wind is a complete nightmare for nearly every single session. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so the only thing messing with the vibe is the breeze.
The first good surf we see isn't until Sunday the 6th of September, but honestly, don't get your hopes up. We've got a 6ft swell arriving from the east, but it's a short period windswell, only 6 seconds. The wind is howling from the east at 25 mph, blowing straight across the break. The combined energy is 252 (moderate), but with that strong cross-shore and messy cross-chop, it's a write-off. It's going to be a battle just to get out, and the wave quality will be rubbish.
This same pattern sticks around for days. Monday the 7th, Tuesday the 8th, Wednesday the 9th, it's all the same story. Swell heights bounce between 6ft and 8ft, period stays short, and the wind is a relentless 25-28 mph from the east or east-northeast. The energy ticks up; by Tuesday the 8th it's at 585 (moderate), but the strong cross-shore wind just shreds any chance of a decent wave. It's frustrating because there's push in the ocean, but it’s all blown out.
The middle of the week into the second week offers no real reprieve. The wind stays strong, the swell stays messy. On Saturday the 12th, the swell jumps up to 10ft in the morning, with a combined energy of 1033 (strong to very strong). That's a lot of power, but that is for experienced surfers only, and the wind is still a strong 25 mph cross-shore. At that size, with that wind, it's a washing machine. Honestly, for most of this period, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We finally get a slight drop in wind speed Sunday the 13th, down to 22 mph, but it's still a cross-shore and the swell is dropping back to 6ft. The energy is back down to 407 (moderate). The conditions are described as "lumpy" rather than "messy," which is a small step up, but it's still not clean. The following week, from the 14th to the 16th, the swell drops right off, with heights down to 4ft and energy falling to 135 (weak). The wind, while lighter, is still onshore or cross-shore.
There's a little spike in energy late in the window. Thursday the 17th sees the swell jump back to 8ft with a period of 8 seconds and energy of 712 (strong). But again, the wind is on it. Friday the 18th is similar. It's a recurring theme: the ocean has the pulse, but the wind just kills it.
So, the best on offer? I hate to say it, but there's no standout window. The least bad conditions might be the morning of Sunday the 13th, when the wind drops to a "fresh" breeze and the swell is a manageable 6ft. Even then, it's lumpy, and it's a far cry from good. For the rest, it's a case of watching the forecast and hoping for a change in the wind. For now, grab the kites if you’ve got them, because the surf is on the back burner.
Rusty.

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.
