The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. Andicuri is the only break we’ve got to look at, and over the next 16 days, it’s a total write-off. There’s no clean surf, no standouts, nothing to plan a session around. The wind is going to be your worst enemy, blowing hard from the east every single day, turning the ocean into a lumpy, chopped-up mess. The swell is all east windswell, short period at just 7 to 8 seconds, meaning weak, gutless waves with no power. The combined energy mostly sits in the moderate range (between 250 and 902), but when the wind is ripping at 22 to 34 mph, it doesn’t matter—it’s all blown out.
From Wednesday, August 5th, we’ve got 6 ft easterly swell, but with 22 mph cross-winds, it’s already ugly. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there, but you won’t care once you feel that chop. Thursday and Friday stay rough: 7 ft to 7 ft east swell with solid moderate energy (365 to 524), but wind jumps to 25-28 mph, slapping the surface cross-shore or cross-onshore. Saturday and Sunday don’t give any break—still 7 ft to 7 ft, still strong wind. By Monday, August 10th, we’re at 7 ft with energy at 522, but the wind is still howling at 25 mph. Friday, August 14th sees 8 ft swell with near gale force 31 mph cross-winds—expert-only size, but completely unrideable.
Into the second week, August 15th through 20th, it’s the same story. Swells hold at 7 ft to 8 ft, periods barely hitting 8 seconds, and wind keeps hammering east at 22-34 mph. Energy hits strong levels (902 on the morning of August 15th), but it’s useless. Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—strong cross-shore wind and rough, choppy waves are perfect for a kite, not for your surfboard.
So what’s the verdict? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Andicuri is usually a very consistent break, so this stretch of junk is a proper bummer. But because it’s so consistent, it doesn’t tend to stay poor for long—forecasts can change, so stay hopeful. For now, leave the board at home.

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.
