The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's call it like it is for the Andicuri stretch in the coming days.
First thing, I've got to level with you – there’s no good surf to start with, and we're looking at a big gap. Not a single standout surf window across the entire 16-day period. The swell is coming in mostly from East to East-North-East, but the wind is a killer. It’s blowing from the East too, making it cross or onshore, and it just won't let the water clean up. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate zone (around 1844 on the 16th of August), but with 25 mph to 28 mph winds, the surface is pure mess and lumpy cross-chop.
For the first week, starting Sunday the 16th through the rest of it, we’ve got swell sizes bouncing between 5 ft and 8 ft, but the period is short – mostly 7 to 9 seconds, so no grunt. The wind never backs off. The energy readings stay moderate (719 on the 17th, 345 on the 18th), but the description says "poor surf conditions" every single time.
Going into the second week, starting the 22nd of August, it's more of the same. Those easterly winds keep blowing at 19 mph to 25 mph, keeping it cross-shore or cross-onshore. The swell drops a bit, down to 5 ft to 6 ft, but the period is still short. Even on the 26th of August, when the period stretches to 11 seconds and the energy hits a moderate 917, the wind is still fresh cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a good wave.
To be honest, with the wind pinning the surface like this, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This is a long, dry run, and for this zone, it’s a pretty normal thing when the trades howl like this. Don’t worry, it won't stay this way forever, but for this forecast, I’m telling you – leave the board at home.
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.
