Andicuri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s check on the surf for Andicuri over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you — we’ve got a bit of a lean run here.

Overall, the pattern is steady but not pretty. The northeast trades are blowing hard and almost non-stop, cranking at 25 mph from the east, sometimes a bit east-northeast. That wind is howling across the beach, making a mess of anything that could have been rideable. The waves are sticking around at a consistent 8 ft to 10 ft for the first week and a half, but with that wind and a short, weak period of just 8 seconds, it’s just lumpy, cross-chopped junk. The water’s sitting at 81° with only a tiny temp change from normal, so pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

For Wednesday and Thursday, July 8th and 9th, you’re looking at a strong cross-shore wind with messy cross-chop. There’s moderate swell energy floating around — but it means nothing when it’s this blown out. Honestly, every single day through July 23rd reads the same story: some “poor surf conditions” and a big fat zero for surfability for paddle surfing.

Friday July 10th adds a bit more height — up to 10 ft in the afternoon — and the energy spikes up to its highest of the whole run, but that’s even more onshore slop. Eat your heart out, kiteboarders, because this setup with strong cross-to-onshore winds and messy, gutless waves is way more your game than mine.

By the middle of the second week, say July 21st, the swell drops a bit to around 6 ft and the period falls to 7 seconds. Still, the wind pipes up to near-gale at 31 mph on the Tuesday afternoon — total blowout. Honestly, for anyone wanting to get a surf in for the whole 16 days… I’d say wait for a change in the forecast. It’s a long stretch of goat’s wool.
