The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Well, mate, I gotta level with you—this forecast for the Andicuri region is a tough one to write. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single session I’d point you to with any real enthusiasm. Right from the start on Wednesday the 12th of August, we’ve got a 7ft swell rolling in from the east, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it’s all wind-slop energy, not real groundswell. The wind is absolutely killing it—a strong cross breeze up to 25 mph, making for messy, cross-chop conditions. And that sets the pattern.
The surf quality is poor all the way through. We see the swell height bump up to 10ft on Friday the 14th of August, and the combined swell energy hits a strong 1282, but the wind is a near gale from the east at 31 mph, creating a chaotic, blown-out mess. That’s not a day for your log; that’s a day for a kite if you ask me. The wind direction stays predominantly cross or cross-onshore for the entire forecast, with speeds rarely dropping below a fresh breeze. Even when the swell period pushes up to 11 seconds on Monday the 17th, the wind is still cross-shore at 16 mph, giving us nothing but a lumpy cross-chop. The water temperature is a warm 83°F with a negligible anomaly, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re grumbling.
The energy levels are all over the shop. We get a few days like Friday the 14th with strong energy in the thousands, but it's paired with that awful wind. For the rest of the time, the combined energy sits between 297 and 572, which is weak-moderate, and it’s all short-period, weak swell. The only saving grace is that Andicuri is described as "very consistent," which means it’s always breaking, but with conditions this poor, that’s not a good thing. There’s no standout session. The entire forecast is a blank run, and given how poor the waves are across the board, this kind of stretch is unfortunately normal for this area when the wind locks in from the east.
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.
