The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day run for Andicuri is a tough one. We’ve got a solid, consistent swell running from the ENE pretty much the whole time, with heights bouncing between 5 ft and 10 ft, and the combined wave energy is moderate to strong (1150 on the first Sunday afternoon, dropping to 150 by the end of the month). But the problem is the wind. That constant easterly, 15–28 mph, is blowing cross or cross-onshore every single session. It’s creating messy cross-chop and lumpy, bumpy conditions that just won’t let the lines clean up. The water temp is 82°, right on normal for this time of year.
The first few days are the most frustrating. Sunday 16 August has the biggest swell, 8 ft to 10 ft ENE with a period of 9–10 seconds (moderate groundswell), and the energy is strong (1150–1344). But the wind is a solid 28 mph – that’s a strong breeze and it’s hammering the surface. That’s not paddle-surfable; the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 are similar, with 8 ft and 6 ft ENE, but the wind stays fresh to strong and cross—quality is low. Wednesday 19 through to the weekend of 23–24 August keep the same pattern: 5 ft to 8 ft ENE swell, but with sustained 22–28 mph winds. The one glimmer could be Saturday 29 August morning when the wind drops to 15 mph (moderate breeze) and the swell is 5 ft E with a 7-second period – still cross-shore and a bit lumpy, but it’s the lightest wind in the whole outlook. It’s not a standout, just the least messy option. By Monday 31 August, the swell fades to 5 ft and the wind is back up to 22 mph.
Honestly, there isn’t a single day in the whole 16-day window I’d call a standout for quality surfing. The swell is there, consistent and moderate in size, but the wind owns this forecast. If you’re a patient local, keep an eye on a sneaky lighter-morning, but otherwise, this stretch is best left for the kites. Keep the wetsuit handy – forecasts can change.
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.
