The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up. Andicuri is the only spot on the table, so this is where we're surfing or we're not. And to be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one.
For the entire 16-day window, starting now and running through to September 8th, it's looking like a write-off for decent waves. There's no real stand-out period, and no day where I'd point you to the water with any enthusiasm. We're looking at a long, blank stretch. The wind is the main culprit here. It's going to be howling out of the East and East-North-East, blowing strong cross-shore and cross-onshore every single day. That's going to chop everything up and make for horrible, messy conditions. You'll see swell heights sitting between 5 ft and 8 ft, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds. This is all windswell, with no real energy behind it – the combined energy figures, like 225 and 636, are moderate at best, but they don't matter when the wind has ruined the surface. The water temperature is about 83°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing you won’t have to complain about. But with winds gusting up to 28 mph, you won't be in the water long enough to enjoy it.
To be honest, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The strong, consistent cross-shore winds and the lumpy, choppy waves are exactly what you'd want for that. For us surfers, it’s just not on. The swell direction is coming from the East, which is the opposite of the optimum N direction for Andicuri, so even the swell that does arrive isn't hitting the break right.
The pattern doesn't change for the whole two weeks. It's the same story from Monday, August 24th right through to Tuesday, September 8th. There's no light wind, no glassy morning, no magic window. It's just a relentless grind of strong wind and poor surf. Sometimes you get a run of bad forecasts, but this is a particularly consistent block of poor conditions. Don't hold your breath for a change; it's just one of those stretches for the area.
Stay patient, check the forecast again in a few days, and maybe dust off the kite gear.

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.
