The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight from the start: looking at the whole 16-day window for Andicuri, there’s not a single moment I’d call good for surfing. It’s a tough run. The swell sticks around, but the wind ruins it, day after day. No standout sessions, no hidden gems. Just a long, frustrating stretch of messy, choppy lines.
The first record lands on Thursday, July 16, but it’s not a recommendation. Swell sits at 8 ft from the east, with a short 7-second period. That’s a weak, junky windswell, and combined wave energy is moderate at 562. But the killer is that east wind, blowing 25 mph right across the face – cross-shore all morning, turning cross-on in the afternoon. Water temp is 82°, which is about average for the time of year, anomaly only 1°. But you won’t care about that while you’re battling that strong breeze and messy cross-chop.
This pattern doesn’t let up. Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, Sunday the 19th – swell heights between 7 ft and 8 ft, period still 7 or 8 seconds, energy moderate (572 to 787). But the wind holds steady: east at 25–28 mph, always cross or cross-on. The wave comment is consistent: “strong cross-shore with messy cross-chop” or “strong cross-onshore and messy.” That’s not surfable, that’s a washing machine.
Monday the 20th through to Wednesday the 22nd, it eases slightly – swell drops to 6 ft–7 ft, energy backing off from 566 down to 286. But wind stays fresh to strong, always cross-shore or cross-on. Even when the period ticks up to 8 seconds, there’s no saving it. Thursday the 23rd through to Monday the 27th of July, it’s the same story: building back up to 7 ft, energy climbing back to 538, but that east wind is relentless. Every report calls it “poor surf conditions.”
The whole second week looks exactly like the first. Tuesday the 28th to Friday the 31st of July – swell 6 ft to 7 ft, periods 7 or 8 seconds, energy moderate, wind always cross or cross-on from the east or east-northeast at 22–28 mph. Some days are “fresh,” others “strong,” but none are clean.
Honestly, with that strong cross-shore wind and all that chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no good surf on offer in the entire 16-day window for Andicuri. It’s a blank run. Sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, leave the boards at home.

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.
