Andicuri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a rough outlook for Andicuri. Over the next 16 days, we’re lookin’ at a total washout with no good surf on offer.

The wind is a constant problem, blowin’ hard from the east and east-northeast at 18 to 31 mph, puttin’ a cross or cross-onshore chop on everything. The swell runs 5 to 8 ft, mostly from the east-northeast, but the period is short—6 to 8 seconds—so it’s all weak, wind-whipped slop. The combined swell energy is mostly moderate, with values like 374 or 529, but it’s never clean enough to ride. The water’s a warm 82°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help when the ocean’s a mess.

There’s a spike around Saturday 15 August, with swell hittin’ 10 ft and energy jumpin’ to 1776 (strong), but it’s still on that nasty cross-onshore wind. That’s way too big and blown out for paddle surfing—this exposed beach setup is better for kites.

The only glimmer is Tuesday 18 August morning, when the swell drops to 3 ft, the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the wind eases to 15 mph. But even then, it’s a cross-shore wind with a cross-chop, and the energy is still moderate (434). The surf’s still “poor.” It’s a tease, not a session.

So, honestly, there’s nothin’ to get excited about for the next 16 days. The wind’s got the upper hand, and the swell’s too short-period to break through. This area knows a quiet spell, so it’s not a shock, but it’s still a bummer. Hang tight, and check back—forecasts can turn.

Rusty.
