The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Andicuri. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a real solid swell running the whole time, but the wind is just relentless out of the east, keeping it cross or cross-on and messy.
Right from Thursday morning the 20th of August, there’s a 6ft swell out of the east at a short 7 seconds, but that east wind is already hammering at 25 mph. The water is sitting at 83°, which is right about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at best (341), but the quality is zero – it’s a strong cross-shore with messy cross-chop. No good for a paddle.
It doesn’t let up. Friday the 21st sees the swell bump to 8ft, still short-period and from the east, with the wind holding strong. The energy picks up (601), but it’s still all cross-shore junk. By Saturday and Sunday, the wind eases just a little to 22 mph, but it’s still a fresh breeze ruining any chance of clean surf. The swell holds around 6ft to 7ft, but it’s all short-period, wind-affected slop.
As we move into the second week, it’s more of the same. From the 25th of August onward, the swell actually gets a bit bigger, hitting 8ft and even 8ft at times, and the energy climbs into the moderate-to-strong range – 698, 766, even 1050 on the 30th of August. But the wind? Still east, still 22 to 31 mph. By the 26th of August, it’s a near gale cross-onshore, blowing it completely out. For an exposed beach setup like Andicuri, with that kind of onshore wind and a short-period E/ENE swell, the waves will be choppy, sectiony, and basically unsurfable. Honestly, with these conditions, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
This blank run of poor conditions stretches the entire 16 days. There’s not a single moment where the wind goes offshore or even light enough to clean things up. The swell direction (east) is the opposite of the optimum north, which doesn’t help. It’s just a long, frustrating stretch of blown-out, messy surf.
Rusty.

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.
