The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's size up what Andicuri has in store.
Right off the bat, the water temp is just what you'd expect for August, nothing wild. But the surf report? It's a real slog.
Starting Monday, 24 August, we've got a constant supply of east-northeast swell coming through, but the wind is the problem. It's a relentless strong easterly breeze – 25 to 31 mph – blowing cross-shore and cross-onshore almost every day. That's just mashing the waves up. Swell heights are running 6 ft to 8 ft, but with short periods of 6 to 7 seconds, meaning weak, choppy energy. The combined swell energy sits mostly in the high hundreds (237 to 623), which is moderate, but it’s all blown-out slop. This is a kite surfer’s window, not a paddle surfer’s. Every single session in this first week is a no-go for decent waves.
Around Monday, 31 August, we get a flicker of change. The swell drops a bit, and then on Tuesday morning, 1 September, a longer-period groundswell sneaks in – 12 seconds from the ENE, but only about 3 ft. That period is long for the size, so it might have some shape, but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore (22 mph). The energy is moderate (458), but the wind chop will ruin it. It’s a maybe if you’re desperate, but not clean.
Then it's more of the same through the first week of September: lumpy cross-shore winds and messy afternoons. There’s a bigger pulse on Tuesday, 8 September, hitting 8 ft with an 8-second period and strong energy (732). But again, that 22 mph fresh breeze will keep it raw and ragged. That one is strictly for experts only.
So the honest call here? There are no standout days in these 16 days. The wind just won't let up. The best-looking window is that Tuesday morning, 1 September, for a shot at some longer-period glass, but don't expect perfection. If you're going out, pick your moment when the wind eases. This is a stretch of poor quality, and for Andicuri, when the trades blow, that's just the way it goes.
Keep your head up.

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.
