The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks here around Andicuri. First up, the water is sitting at about 82°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Straight off the bat, I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a long, frustrating stretch ahead. There’s basically no decent surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. Every single entry from August 5th through to August 20th is flagged as poor surf conditions. The wind is relentless, blowing a strong 22 to 31 mph from the east or east-northeast, and it's either cross or cross-on shore, which means the surface is going to be messy, lumpy, or blown out pretty much all the time.
The swell itself isn't tiny – it starts around 6 ft and builds up to 10 ft by the end of the second week. The combined wave energy ranges from moderate three-digit values like 215 right up to very strong four-digit values hitting 1315 by Sunday the 16th of August. But with that short, choppy period of just 6 to 9 seconds, and the wind ruining any chance of shape, this isn't doing us any favours. For a spot like Andicuri, which is an exposed setup and very consistent, that's a real shame.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout or highlight here. This is one of those blank runs where the forecasts are just a write-off. The setup might actually look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the strong cross-shore winds and the lumpy, powerful swells. For us wave riders, it's a case of sitting this one out.

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.
