The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Andicuri. The real problem is the wind. We’ve got a solid, consistent east-northeast swell running through the whole period, but the wind is locked in from the east and east-northeast, blowing cross or cross-onshore every single day. That’s not a recipe for clean, surfable waves. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Looking at the first few days, from Monday the 10th through to Thursday the 13th, we’ve got swell around 6 ft to 7 ft coming from the east-northeast with a short period of just 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (312 to 432), but it’s all ruined by the wind. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” across the board, and that’s the truth. It’s messy, lumpy, and blown out.
Then we hit a real spike in size from Friday the 14th into the weekend. Friday morning shows a 10 ft swell from the east-northeast, and by the afternoon it’s pumping 12 ft with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1984 – that’s very strong. But again, the wind is a screaming cross-onshore, near gale force at 31 mph. This is not a paddle session; this is a kite surfer’s dream. The wave state is calling it blown out, and for a surfer, it’s just too dangerous and messy.
Saturday the 15th keeps the size up at 10 ft and 8 ft, with strong cross-shore winds. Still lumpy, still messy. Sunday the 16th drops a bit to 8 ft, but the wind is still cross or cross-on. The conditions are no good.
The second week, from Monday the 17th onward, the swell backs down to 6 ft to 8 ft, but the wind pattern doesn’t change. It’s a constant cross-shore chop. The wave energy stays moderate (309 to 623), but the quality is poor. Across the entire 16 days, every single time slot is rated as “poor surf conditions.” There is not one standout window, not one morning or afternoon where the wind turns offshore and the waves clean up. It’s a long, blank run.
Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the forecast. With a break this consistent for swell, the conditions can’t stay this bad forever. But for now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for at Andicuri.

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.
