The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for us at Andicuri. I've gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a long, frustrating grind. We're looking at a solid 16-day block, from September 9th right through to the 24th, and the truth is there’s not a single window of good surf on offer. Not one. Every single slate in that 16-day window is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a tough pill to swallow.
The issue is a relentless east to east-northeast wind that just won't quit. It's blowing strong, between 15 and 31 mph, swinging from cross to a messy cross-onshore. That’s a guaranteed recipe for chop, lump, and blown-out junk. The swell does push through some moderate energy, with the combined energy hitting between 146 and 890, so there's some push out there, but the wind rapes it all to pieces. Periods are short, too, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, meaning it’s just windswell slop.
Andicuri is a very consistent, exposed N-facing break, ideal for intermediate surfers when conditions line up. The water’s sitting around 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends. The optimum swell direction is from the north, but every single swell shown is coming from the east through east-northeast, a direction the break is exposed to but clearly not handling well in this wind. The short periods mean it won’t be holding any shape either.
Look at September 12th, Saturday morning. We’ve got a swell bumping to 8 ft from the east with decent energy (890), but the wind is 25 mph from the east, cross-shore and creating messy cross-chop. That’s a kite-surfing session, not a paddle session. Any wave over 5 ft is already a handful for beginners, and with that wind, even experts will be frustrated.
The final few days, around September 22nd and 23rd, the wind does drop to a moderate breeze, but the swell drops with it to 4 ft to 5 ft, and it’s still short period windswell. The surf quality never improves.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that feels pretty normal for a spot that’s this exposed to strong trade winds. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle out for. Save your energy.
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.
