Andicuri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day outlook for Andicuri. Let's be straight with you: this stretch is a rough one. That easterly wind just won't let up, and it's blowing straight across or onshore nearly every day, keeping things lumpy and messy. We're looking at a long gap of really poor surf conditions right through until mid-month.

The combined energy stays weak to moderate most of the time, sitting between 255 and 694, which backs up the story of weak, choppy waves. The swell is short-period windswell at just 7 to 8 seconds, so no real power behind it, and it's coming from the east or east-northeast, which isn't the optimum direction for this spot. Water temps are about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

The only real standout comes up on Saturday, August 15th, for the morning session. We've got a big jump in swell to 12 ft from the east-northeast, with a longer period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 2254, which is strong. The wind is moderate from the east-southeast, so it's a cross-shore, and the conditions are flagged as favorable. But, and it's a big but, that swell is massive. At 12 ft, this is strictly for experts only. The wave quality will be there, but it's a serious paddle. The afternoon gets blown out with a near-gale force onshore.

After that, it's right back to the same old story. The wind picks up again, the swell drops, and the quality tanks. We're looking at another week of strong cross-shore breezes and messy, blown-out surf from the 16th right through to the 23rd. The energy stays in the 380 to 694 range, with short-period windswell and poor conditions across the board. There's really nothing else to get excited about.

Overall, this is a tough run. If you're a hardcore expert, that Saturday the 15th morning might be your window, but for everyone else, you're better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks.

Rusty.
