The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase—this forecast is a heartbreaker. For the next couple of weeks, Indicas is looking pretty darn empty. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore, and the wave energy is weak, with readings mostly in that 50 to 170 range. It's a far cry from what this reef needs to get going.
The first week, from Tuesday the 8th through Monday the 14th, is a total washout. We've got onshore winds chopping everything up, and the surf is in that 2ft to 3ft range with short, 7 to 9 second periods. It's messy, it's lumpy, and it's not worth your time. The water temp is 86°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year—it feels like a bath, but that doesn't help with no proper swell. It's just a constant battle with crumbly, weak waves.
The second week, from Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 23rd, the wind does shift to a more cross-offshore direction, which will clean up the surface a bit. But the swell gets even smaller, and the period drops to a dismal 5 or 6 seconds. That’s pure windswell, and on a reef like this, it's just not going to break with any power. The waves stay stuck in that 2ft to 3ft range. There’s a couple of days around the 21st and 22nd where the sea looks glassy and clean, but honestly, there's just nothing behind it. It'll be almost flat.
Energy is weak all through, with those low numbers confirming there's no real grunt to any of this. For a spot that can be all-time, this is a bummer.
So, the bottom line? There are no standout days. This is a proper flat spell for this area. The break is inconsistent even in good times, and with this forecast, I can't recommend anyone paddle out. But here's the thing—this won't last. A spot like this doesn't stay flat forever, and the second a real swell shows up, it'll be firing. For now, with the onshore winds and small, choppy waves, this looks more like a kitesurfer's playground than a surfer's. Hold tight.
Rusty out.

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.
