The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s be honest – the next 16 days at Andicuri are a real struggle. The swell is showing up, but the wind is a constant problem. It’s almost always blowing strong from the east or east-northeast, either cross or cross-onshore, making a mess of everything. There’s no clean window to speak of.
Water temp is 28°, which is about average for the time of year – nothing to write home about.
The first week starts on Wednesday, 12 August, with a 7 ft east swell and a short 7-second period, but 25 mph cross-shore winds wreck it. Thursday 13th is similar – 7 ft to 7 ft easterly swell, but the wind hits 31 mph in the afternoon. Conditions are poor. Friday 14th sees the biggest swell of the early part – a 10 ft east-northeast swell with a combined energy of 1282 (strong to very strong wave energy). But the wind is a near gale at 31 mph, cross-shore... it’s a total write-off. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The weekend continues the same story: 7 ft to 8 ft east-northeast swell, but always cross-onshore winds.
Into the second week, from Monday 17th August, there’s a tiny glimmer on the Monday morning. The swell period jumps to 11 seconds, so we’re getting some groundswell, but it’s still 7 ft from the east-northeast and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, leaving it lumpy. That’s the best of a bad lot – a long-period swell that would normally be nice at a point break, but the wind ruins it. After that, it’s back to the same grind: 5 ft to 7 ft east swell, short period, and strong cross-shore or cross-onshore winds right through to Thursday 27th August.
The only one that might be worth a look is the Monday 17th morning. The swell is 7 ft, 11-second period from the east-northeast, and the wind is at least only cross-shore rather than full onshore. It’s still lumpy, but it’s the least worst option. The rest of the time, leave it. The break is exposed and very consistent, but the wind just doesn’t let up.
No good surf on offer here. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long blank run.
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.
