The Lowdown
Ah, Andicuri… look, I’m gonna level with you. If you’re looking for a clean, glassy surf session here over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna be bummed. This stretch is a complete write-off for paddle surfing. The forecast is just a long, drawn-out battle with the wind, and the ocean is going to be a mess. We’ve got a solid run of strong cross-shore and cross-onshore winds that are going to tear up any chance of a decent wave.
Right from the start on Saturday the 15th, it’s ugly. We’re looking at 7ft of ENE swell, but it's coming in at a short, weak 8-second period, and the energy is only moderate (530). The wind is howling at 19 mph from the E, putting a nasty cross-onshore chop on everything. It’s poor, and it’s not going to get any better through the day.
The whole first week is just a battle. The swell sticks around, mostly in the 5ft to 8ft range, but the wind doesn’t let up. Sunday the 16th has the most size, with 8ft swell, but the wind cranks up to 28 mph, and the energy is strong (1365), but it’s all wasted on a blown-out surface. It's a classic case of a lot of power with nowhere clean to go. With the wind this strong and onshore, this setup looks way more interesting for the kite crew than for us surfers. All these days are scoring a big fat zero.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief either. The breeze might drop slightly to 22-25 mph, but it’s still constantly cross or cross-on, keeping the surface lumpy and chopped. The swell remains in that 5ft to 8ft zone, but the period is mostly stuck at 7 seconds, which means weak, disorganized stuff. The energy is moderate at its best (606 on the 26th), but it just doesn’t matter because the wind ruins everything.
There’s no standout period, no window of calm, nothing. We're looking at a solid two-week stretch of “poor surf conditions” across the board. If you’re desperate, the water temp might be a touch warmer than average, which is something, but it’s not much of a silver lining. Honestly, this is one of those times you hang up the wettie and go find something else to do. The forecast can always change, but as it stands right now, don't get your hopes up. The only thing Andicuri is serving up is a workout against the wind.

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.
