The Lowdown
Alright, rusty here, and let's be honest, right off the bat, this outlook is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, the wind is our enemy, hammering Andicuri with a relentless cross or cross-onshore flow. It’s not looking good for a paddle session.
Right from Friday the 21st of August, we’ve got an 8ft swell from the ENE, but it’s paired with a howling 28 mph crosswind and messy cross-chop. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year, so that's not the issue. The energy is moderate (699), but it’s totally unsurfable.
This heartbreaking pattern carries on right through the rest of August. Every morning and afternoon is the same story: a consistent 6ft to 7ft E-ENE swell, short period (7-8 seconds), with cross-shore winds of 22-25 mph. The combined energy stays moderate, between 300 and 603, but the quality is zero. A lot of these days we’re looking at “fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop” or “strong cross-onshore and messy.” This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a slight tease at the end of the first week. On Sunday the 30th, the wind is still strong, and the swell drops to 6-6ft but still with that short period (8 seconds). No joy there.
Now, the standout event—and I use that term loosely—is way off in the distance. On Monday the 31st of August, the swell jumps to 12ft from the ENE, with a period of 9-10 seconds. The combined energy surges to a very strong 2307. This is a serious amount of water, but don't get excited. The wind is still a strong cross-onshore. That much energy with that wind is just dangerous, messy whitewater. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it would be a battle. The only other notable day is Tuesday the 1st of September, with a 10ft E swell (energy 1097), but again, fresh cross-shore wind wrecks the surface. These two days in the second week are the only real standouts for size, but the wind kills any quality. Honestly, for pure paddle surfing, there’s nothing good to recommend here, and that’s a fact. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a blank run.
Stay safe out there,
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.
