The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and it’s the same story, just in feet and miles per hour. This one’s a bummer, folks. The whole 16-day window at Andicuri is a struggle. The swell is coming from the east and east-northeast, not its best angle, but the real killer is the wind. It’s blowing cross or onshore the entire time, and it’s strong.
Starting on Thursday afternoon, the 20th of August, you’ve got a 6.6ft swell from the east with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-onshore, so it’s a mess. Friday the 21st sees the swell hit 7.9ft in the morning and 8.2ft in the afternoon, with the wind picking up to 28 mph. Still cross or cross-onshore. It’s just bad.
And the pattern holds. Saturday and Sunday, the 22nd and 23rd, have swells around 6.2ft to 6.6ft, with the same wind story. The conditions are called “poor” every single day, right through to Friday the 4th of September. The swell heights bounce between 5.2ft and 8.2ft, with periods stuck at 7 or 8 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-slop. The energy peaks at the end of August and start of September, but with that onshore wind, it’s just raw power with no shape at all.
When the swell pushes past 8.2ft, like on the 26th of August and the 31st, it’s expert-only territory anyway, but the wind makes it unrideable for everyone. Given it’s a beach and reef setup with that constant strong onshore flow, this whole period looks far better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the honest truth: there is no best day. The entire 16-day forecast is a washout. It’s a long blank run, and with the trades howling, it’s not unusual for this spot. Don’t get your hopes up, but forecasts can always flip. Right now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
