The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with ya – we’re in a bit of a dry spell. For the next 16 days starting now, there simply ain’t any good surf options at Andicuri. Every single slot in the forecast is marked with poor surf conditions, with scores of zero across the board. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
We’ve got swell on the way, no doubt about that. Starting Tuesday the 18th of August, ya got a 5ft ENE swell, but it’s comin’ in with a short period of 7 seconds and a cross-on wind from the ENE at 19 mph – that’s a fresh breeze, lumpy as hell. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the bath is warm.
That swell hangs around but only gets messier. By Wednesday the 19th, the wind jumps to 22 mph cross-shore from the East, and the whole thing is just cross-chop. The combined wave energy is modest, around 178 for the morning, but it’s all junk. Thursday the 20th sees the swell push up to 7ft from the East, period still a weak 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 469, but the wind is howling at 25 mph – strong breeze, cross-shore, and messy. It’s the same story day after day: fresh to strong easterly winds, cross or cross-onshore, and that short-period chop.
Even when the swell gets a bit of grunt – like on Tuesday the 25th of August with 8ft from the East and an energy reading of 810 – it’s still a complete write-off for a paddle. The wind is 28 mph cross-shore, and the period is only 8 seconds. That kind of setup, with strong wind and lumpy conditions, might look more interesting for kite surfing than tradin’ paddles.
The only small window where the wind eases a fraction is around Sunday the 30th of August, when the swell drops to 4ft from the East, period 6 seconds, and wind drops to 16 mph from the ESE. But it’s still cross-shore and the energy is weak (116). Not worth gettin’ excited about.
So, bottom line: this is a blank run. Andicuri is a very consistent spot, so it tends not to stay this poor for long – forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
