The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for our local spot and, well, I’ve got some bad news to kick things off. There’s just nothing worth paddling out for anytime soon.
We’re looking at Andicuri, and from Thursday the 10th of September all the way through to the end of the month, it’s a grim picture. Every single time slot is marked with poor surf conditions. The wind is relentless, blowing a cross to cross-onshore from the east at 18 to 28 mph, just tearing up the surface. That wind state stays on the breeze, shifting from strong breeze to fresh breeze, and it’s turning the ocean into a lumpy, cross-chop mess. There’s no getting away from it.
We do have size on offer, I’ll give it that. Swell heights run from 6 ft to 8 ft, with combined wave energy sitting between 295 and 836 (moderate to strong), but it’s all wind-driven junk. The period is a short 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s a steep, weak, choppy wave. With that east-northeast direction and a beach that really wants north swell, the angles are all wrong. The water temp is sitting at a normal 83°F for this time of year, not that it matters when you can’t get a clean wave.
There isn’t a single standout morning or afternoon in the entire 16-day run. The only flicker of life comes on the 25th of September, Friday morning, when things drop to a "moderate breeze" and the rating just barely bumps up to a 1 out of 10. But even then, it’s still a cross-shore chop with 6 ft of short-period swell. That’s not a surf window, that’s hope getting punched in the face.
Because it’s exposed and very consistent for swell, it’s not that the ocean is flat – it’s that the quality is utterly cooked. For the experienced crew, this setup with that much wind and messy cross-on conditions actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For the rest of us? Save the wax. This is a blank run through the whole forecast.
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.
