Andicuri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. For the next couple of weeks, Andicuri is going to be a persistent headache. We’ve got waves, no doubt, but the wind is going to wreck every single session. It’s a long stretch of messy, lumpy, cross-shore junk.

The water’s sitting right at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year. That’s not the problem. The problem is the constant onshore flow messing with a short-period east swell that’s just not going to give us any clean lines.

Tuesday, September 15th: We're starting off with around 6ft of east swell at 7 seconds. With a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore breeze, it's gonna be bumpy and ugly. The energy is moderate at 289, but the quality is poor.

Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th: The wind stays on it, with a mix of cross and cross-on. The swell holds in that 5-6ft range. Then on Friday, September 18th, the swell jumps to 8ft, with energy readings jumping into the strong category (626). But those strong winds of 40-45 km/h turn it into a chaotic mess. On Friday afternoon, we're looking at 8ft waves and strong cross-onshore winds. This isn't for anyone but the most experienced locals, and even they might think twice.

Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th: The swell drops back to around 6-7ft, but the wind remains strong and messy. The energy is still solid (501 and 367), but it's all for nothing.

Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd: More of the same. 6-7ft of east swell, periods at 7 seconds, and strong winds. Energy readings remain in the strong zone (437). It's a constant battle.

Wednesday 23rd through Friday 25th: The swell starts to fade, dropping to 5-6ft. The wind eases a little, but it's still cross-shore or cross-on, keeping things lumpy. Energy drops into the moderate range (226-355). Still no good.

Saturday 26th onwards: The final week sees the swell really fizzle out. We're looking at 4-5ft waves, with periods dropping to 6 seconds. There's also a chance of thunderstorms. The energy fades to numbers like 181 and 199. The wind even lets up a bit on the 30th, but the surf is small and weak by then.

So, there you have it. A full 16-day stretch with no quality surf on offer. There is no standout window. The swell direction is wrong, and the wind just won't cooperate. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding forecast than a surfing one. For us, it's a complete write-off. Forecasts can shift, but right now, I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is Rusty, and I'm out.
