The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Andicuri. The whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a write-off, if I'm being honest. There's swell almost every day, and plenty of it – but the wind is the enemy here.
The pattern is locked in. A stiff easterly breeze, 19 to 28 mph, blows straight across or onto the shore every single session. That means cross-shore chop or lumpy, messy cross-onshore conditions from now right through to August 5th. The water temp is sitting at a warm 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it much with that wind in your face.
We start with Tuesday July 21st. Some swell around 6 ft from the east, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a fresh cross-onshore wind, the wave energy is moderate (311), but the surf is a total mess. Wednesday the 22nd is more of the same: 5 ft, short period, cross-shores that just chop everything up.
Thursday July 23rd sees the swell build to 7 ft to 7 ft from the east. The wave energy jumps way up (461-507), but the wind is a strong breeze, cross-shore, and the comment is "messy cross-chop." For an exposed spot like Andicuri, this is just a washing machine.
This ugly pattern stretches through the rest of July and into the first week of August. The swell sticks between 5 ft and 8 ft, with that period sitting at a weak 6 to 8 seconds. The wave energy fluctuates from a moderate 181 up to a strong 796 on Thursday July 30th, when the swell hits 8 ft from the east. But again, any power is ruined by the strong cross-shore wind. That kind of size with that onshore mess is strictly for the die-hard, experienced local in a wetsuit.
By Sunday August 2nd, the wind eases a touch to a moderate breeze of 16 mph, but it’s still a cross-shore. The swell is 7 ft from the east (399 energy). It's the least ugly looking window, but "moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop" is not a selling point.
Honestly, there is not a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The wind never lets up enough for the short-period east swell to form a decent wave. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, the conditions are far more interesting for kite-surfing than for paddle surfing. This is a long stretch of frustrating surf. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a blank run. 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.
