Andicuri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.

Honestly, this is a tough stretch for Andicuri. Right from Monday the 31st of August, the wind is blowing hard from the east and cross-shore, which is putting a real chop on the water and making it a mess. The swell is there, around 6 ft from the east, but with a short period of only 6 seconds, it doesn’t have much push. The combined swell energy is weak (311), and it looks pretty unsurfable. That “poor surf conditions” tag is on every single session through the whole 16-day window. There’s no clean window here, the wind is relentless. Even the moderate wave energy numbers (like 573 on Tuesday the 1st of September) get ruined by strong cross-onshore winds.

Andicuri is a very consistent, exposed spot, and the water temperature is 83°, pretty normal for this time of year. But the east wind is just constant. The wind never drops into offshore or glassy territory, so there’s just no clean surf on offer. The swell height does build, getting up to 8 ft (strong wave energy of 871) on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September, but with the east wind still blowing 22 mph cross-shore, it’s a lumpy, messy power mush. On the afternoon of the 10th, the swell hits 10 ft with strong energy (1043), but with a 28 mph cross-onshore wind, this is only for expert-level paddlers willing to battle crazy chop, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.

Even the later part of the forecast, into the second week around Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th of September, shows no let-up: fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. There is no standout day. The wind and swell direction are a poor match, and nothing cleans up.

So, the bottom line: No good surf options in this 16-day window for Andicuri. When it’s like this, don’t stress too much—the area can turn around, and forecasts change. But for now, keep the board in the car and check back.

Rusty.
