The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch ahead where the wind is just not playing ball, and the surf is going to be a messy, lumpy mess for the most part.
The only spot on the radar is Andicuri, and it’s a real tale of two forecasts. It’s super consistent, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean much when the conditions are this poor. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
Looking at the whole run, we’re staring down a big fat gap of poor conditions. From now, Wednesday the 5th, all the way through the middle of next week, it’s just onshore slop. The swell is there, but it’s short-period windswell coming from the east, with those periods hanging around 7 seconds. It’s going to be lumpy, with strong cross-shore winds making it hard to find any sort of rhythm. The energy is moderate, starting around 258 on the 5th, building into the 400s by the weekend, but it’s just wasted on the chop.
Then we get into the second week. The swell pushes up a bit more, and the period stretches out to 8 seconds. By the 14th, we start seeing the energy jump into the 600s and 800s, with the swell nudging 8ft. But the wind gods are still angry. We’re talking strong cross-shore and even near-gale cross-onshore winds for the 15th and 16th. This is where it gets serious. With that much wind and that size on a beach break, this isn’t a paddle-surfing situation anymore. It’s looking a lot more interesting for the kite surfers.
The one bright spot, and I mean the one, is the morning of Monday the 17th. The wind drops to 22 mph, still cross-shore, but it’s the cleanest it’s going to get. The swell is still 7ft from the ENE, but with a bit less wind on it, it might just be rideable. Still, with that cross-shore chop, it’ll be a battle.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there’s nothing that screams “go.” The swell size gets up there, especially around the 19th when it hits 10ft with a strong energy reading of 1071, but the wind is just ruining everything. For the next week or so, it’s not worth the drive. After that, it’s a gamble. Keep an eye on the wind, because if it ever backs off, Andicuri could turn on. But as it stands, we’re in for a rough patch.
Stay safe out there, and don't get too frustrated. This kind of run doesn't last forever.
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.
