The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Andicuri.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the whole 16-day window is a bit of a rough stretch. We’ve got swell, no doubt about it, but the wind is a persistent problem. This isn’t going to be a time for grabbing your favourite stick and expecting silky rides. The conditions are consistently described as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero across the board, so don't expect any magic.
The swell rolls in starting Wednesday afternoon, the 26th of August, with a 7ft easterly swell at a short, bumpy 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate, coming in at 393. But the real killer is the wind – a strong cross-onshore breeze from the east at 25 mph. That’s gonna make for a messy, lumpy surface. This pattern holds firm for days. Through the end of August and into the first week of September, we see the same story: swell heights between 5ft and 7ft, almost always from the east or east-northeast, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds. The wind stays locked in from the east, anywhere from 19 to 28 mph, creating cross or cross-onshore conditions. It’s going to be choppy and uninviting. The energy levels vary from 185 up to 569, so there's plenty of push, but it’s all wasted on poor quality.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. From the 5th of September through to the 10th, we see more of the same: 6ft to 8ft easterly swell, short period, and strong easterly winds keeping things blown out and messy. The water temperature is sitting around 83°F with a normal anomaly, so at least it’s warm for a paddle, but you’ll be battling the wind more than riding the waves.
If you’re a kite surfer, this setup might actually look interesting with that consistent, strong cross-shore wind. For us paddle surfers, it’s a hard pass. There are no standouts here, no hidden gems. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the charts; it tends not to stay this poor forever, and a shift in the wind could change everything. But for now, save your energy.
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.
