The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Andicuri. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, and the wave quality is just getting chewed up.
We do have a bit of swell on the way, but it’s not going to do us any favours. The first sniff of anything decent is on Monday, 17th August. We’re looking at a 7ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short, weak 8 seconds. The real problem is the wind from the E at 22 mph, making it a messy cross-shore chop. The combined energy is moderate (508), but honestly, it’s poor surf conditions. The water temperature is 82°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Tuesday, 18th August, is more of the same. The swell drops to 6ft from the ENE, period shortens to 7 seconds, and the wind is still a howling 19 mph from the E. It’s a lumpy, cross-shore mess. The energy drops to 318. No good.
We get a bit of a bump in size on Thursday, 20th August. The swell hits 8ft from the E, but the period is still a pathetic 7 seconds. The wind picks up to a near gale 31 mph from the E in the afternoon. That’s blown out. The energy is strong (623), but only for the wrong reasons. This is kite-surfing territory, not for paddling.
The pattern just repeats. The swell stays around 6ft to 7ft, all from the ENE or E, with periods stuck at 7 seconds. The wind stays relentless, mostly from the E at 19-28 mph, keeping the surf lumpy, cross-onshore, and messy. There’s not a single day in the whole 16-day window where the conditions line up for a decent wave. Every single forecast is described as "poor surf conditions".
So, the brutal truth: there’s nothing to get excited about here. The best advice is to find something else to do for the next fortnight. The combined energy figures are all over the place, from a low of 240 up to 623, but it’s all wasted energy. It’s just a long, frustrating run of onshore slop. Check back in with me in a couple of weeks – the forecasts can always 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.
