The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Andicuri. The whole 16-day window is looking like a write-off for decent paddle surfing. There’s no recommendation for a single session, and I can see why – the wind just refuses to play nice. We’ve got a persistent easterly breeze, mostly between 22 mph and 28 mph, which is either fresh cross-shore or a strong cross-onshore all the way through. That’s going to leave the surface a lumpy, messy chop, day in, day out. There are gaps with no good options, but it’s more like one long, disappointing gap right across the entire period.
The swell is there, no doubt. It starts on Saturday, September 5th, with a short-period 5.2 ft easterly swell and builds. By Monday the 7th, the combined wave energy is pushing into strong territory at 437, and it stays in that moderate-to-strong range for a solid week, with the combined energy hitting some very strong numbers like 868 on Saturday the 12th. But that’s where the problem is. We’re talking about an east swell hitting an east-facing break, direct and straight on, and that energy just gets chopped to pieces by the wind. The period stays in the 6 to 8 second range the whole time, so it’s all wind-slop, not groundswell. For the water temps, at 82.9° with a 0.2° anomaly, it’s bang on average for the time of year here.
This setup, with significant swell but poor quality and strong cross-shore or onshore winds over a beach-and-reef break, looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only faint chance would be if the wind drops, but the forecast doesn’t show it. It’s a frustrating run – Andicuri is very consistent for swell, but when the wind is this stubborn, there’s nothing to do but wait for the next change.

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.
