The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a lean run. There’s a long dry spell at the start. We’re looking at a gap of about 12 days before we see anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave comes on Thursday, 12 September, but even then, it’s pretty ordinary. The real standout, and the only one I’d even bother circling on the calendar, is all the way out on Wednesday, 16 September.
The one to watch is Indicas. This is a reef break, so it handles swell direction well, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. When it does, it’s for the advanced crew. The best it’s going to get is that Wednesday afternoon, 16 September. We’re looking at a small 2-foot swell, coming from the ESE. The kicker here is the wind. It’s going glassy, light breeze from the North, which will make for clean, smooth conditions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 87°.
The combined energy is weak, only 75, so you won’t be getting any power, but for a clean, small-wave session on a tricky reef, you take what you can get. The break isn’t really hitting the optimum direction from the NE, but the glassy conditions make it the best on offer in a pretty bleak outlook.
Honestly, if you’re not surfing that late afternoon session on the 16th, you’re not missing much. This is a spot that really needs a proper swell to light up, and this run just doesn’t have the juice. The rest of the days are either too choppy, too small, or blowing onshore. It’s the kind of quiet spell where the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
Indicas is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Marsh Harbour. If you plan a holiday in Great Abaco - Bahamas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Marsh Harbour. Marsh Harbour has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
