The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Indicas is a tough one. We’re staring down a long, dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The entire first week and a half is a write-off. From Tuesday the 25th of August all the way through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s poor surf conditions day after day. That’s almost two weeks of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft out of the ESE or E, with short periods under 10 seconds and weak wave energy (mostly 74 to 254 on the combined scale). The wind is cross-on or onshore the whole time, chopping up whatever little bump there is. No point even looking at it.
Then, finally, on Monday the 7th of September, things flip. The wind swings around to the WSW at 6 mph, going cross-offshore, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NE with a period of 10 seconds and moderate energy (229). The morning is clean, and the afternoon gets a gentle offshore from the WNW—that’s the kind of wind you want. It’s still small, but it’s the first real sign of life.
Tuesday the 8th of September looks like the standout of this whole 16-day run. The swell holds at 3 ft from the NE, period stretching to 11 seconds, and energy jumps to 281—still moderate but the best we get. The wind is a moderate offshore out of the WSW in the morning and W in the afternoon. That’s going to groom it nicely. For a reef break that’s inconsistent and best with a NE optimum, this is your window. It’s an advanced wave, so leave the beginners on the beach—3 ft is fine for you lot. Crowds can pop up sometimes here, but on a Tuesday you might have some room.
Wednesday the 9th of September still has a 3 ft NE swell with 10-second period, but the wind goes cross-off from the NW, and energy drops to 207. It’s marginal, but still cleaner than anything in the first two weeks.
So to sum it up: don’t even bother for the first 12 days. Mark your calendar for the 7th and 8th of September. Monday’s a warm-up, Tuesday’s your best shot. Rusty, signing off.

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.
