The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. I’ve been staring at the charts for Indicas, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run ahead. This is a real dry spell.
Right now, the swell is tiny and weak, coming in from the ESE at a pretty average 8 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper at just 64, so we’re looking at weak, gutless waves. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is just adding a little bump to an already flat lineup. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly above average here.
Looking through the next couple of weeks, it’s a long, monotonous stretch. From July 14th right through to July 29th, every single session is rated as "poor surf conditions." The swell wobbles between 1ft and 4ft, but it’s almost always from the ESE or SE, and the period mostly stays a short and weak 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is a persistent problem, too – almost always a cross-onshore breeze, from 6 to 16 mph, keeping things choppy and messy. Even when the wind does drop to a glassy 3 mph on the 15th, the swell is still just too small to do anything with.
The energy does pick up a little around the 20th of July, with the combined energy hitting 107 and 122, but that’s just a little more juice for a messy, cross-onshore, short-period wave. It’s still not good. The waves stay small and the wind keeps ruining any chance of a clean face. We get a few days where the wind goes directly onshore around the 27th, and that’s even worse.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. No peak to chase. It’s a 16-day drought for surfable waves at Indicas. If you’re desperate, you could look at the absolute most glassy moment, like Wednesday afternoon the 15th, but you’d be scratching for knee-high lumps. This is a kite-surfing forecast more than a paddle-surfing one, given the persistent onshore wind and small, choppy sea state.
The forecast is pretty solid for the near term, and sadly, the long-range doesn’t offer any hope either. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. We just have to wait for the next system to change things up.
Rusty.

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.
