The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, there's not a single decent surf option on offer. Every single day at Andicuri is served up with "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero, so I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
The main issue is the wind. We're stuck with a persistent easterly breeze blowing at 19 to 31 mph, which is cross-shore or cross-onshore nearly the whole time. That's going to keep the surface messy, lumpy, or blown out from Friday the 21st of August right through to Saturday the 5th of September. There's no let-up.
Swell-wise, there's some energy in the water. The combined energy of all swells directed here starts around 717 in the first few days, then dips to the 300s before ramping up again. By Sunday the 30th of August, it jumps to 1202, and we see a peak of 1080 on Monday the 31st—that's strong to very strong wave energy. But don't get excited. The swell is short-period (7 to 9 seconds), coming from the ENE to E, and with that wind, it's just a mess. The height ranges from 6 ft to 10 ft, which for a break like Andicuri—exposed to the north—just doesn't line up with the optimum direction. The water temperature is 84°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so that's not helping us either.
Andicuri is a very consistent spot, and it's a shame to see it sitting this way. Since it's a beach-and-reef setup and we've got that strong, persistent cross-shore wind, honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing or wind sports than paddle surfing. The good news? It's a consistent break, so when the wind finally shifts, things could turn around quickly. But for now, the forecast is a blank run.
Alright, that's the hard truth. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next window. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
