The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for Indicas over the next couple of weeks. I've gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, long run of days where the conditions just aren't coming together. The forecast is showing a lot of cross-onshore and onshore winds blowing straight into the break, chopping up what little swell there is. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with values mostly under 100 and only briefly touching the low 100s, and the waves are just not organised. It's a bit of a bummer.
The water temperature here is sitting around 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only bright spot.
For the first week and a half, from Friday 24 July right through to about Monday 3 August, it's a write-off. The scores are all zeros, with "poor surf conditions" being the standard comment. There are a couple of glimmers on the Sunday afternoon of 26 July and again on Friday afternoon 31 July, where we get a few clean, offshore winds with waves around 3 ft to 3 ft from the E, and the wind goes offshore from the WSW. The guidance says this spot is a tricky reef for advanced surfers and it's inconsistent. Even on these better windows, the wave comment is only "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's hardly calling you out of bed.
Then, from Tuesday 4 August through to Saturday 8 August, we've got another gap. The wind turns onshore, the swell stays small and short-period (6-7 seconds), and it's just messy. The energy is in the weak range.
Look, this is a blank run. Indicas is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this 16-day window is lining up to be a real test of patience. Don't bother paddling out unless you're desperate for a splash. The setup here isn't really showing anything worth chasing for a paddle, but if you're into kite surfing, the moderate onshore winds and that small, choppy sea state might just be what you're after.

Information about the Indicas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Indicas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Indicas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Indicas 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 (Indicas) 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 Indicas 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.
