Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it, because honestly, for the first week and a half there’s not a whole lot to get excited about at Indicas. This reef setup’s been stubborn, and the conditions are just not playing ball for a good session. We’re looking at a long dry spell from now until early next week – that’s about six or seven days of poor surf with cross-onshore winds and choppy, lumpy water. Only the bravest or most desperate would paddle out.
The first glimmer of something rideable shows up on Sunday the 12th of July in the afternoon. Finally, the wind goes glassy – light east at 3 mph – and the swell sits around 3 ft from the ESE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 104, but the waves are only just surfable, very ordinary. Still, if you’re itching, that’s the first clean window in ages.
Then Monday the 13th of July shapes up a bit better. Morning sees light south at 3 mph, cross-offshore, with 3 ft ESE swell and a clean surface. Afternoon turns offshore with a west breeze at 6 mph, same size swell, period bumps up to 9 seconds, and the energy drops to 87 (on the weaker side). Clean waves, small, but makeable. That’s about as good as it gets in this outlook.
From Tuesday the 14th onward the swell stays small – 2 ft to 2 ft – and the wind mostly cross-offshore or cross, so the surface stays clean at times, but there’s just not enough push. The combined energy stays below 100 most days, meaning weak, dribbly waves. A few afternoon windows on the 15th and 16th offer clean 2 ft surf with gentle breezes, but it’s still not worth making a trip for.
Bottom line: the first real standout is Monday the 13th of July, especially the afternoon with clean offshore wind and a tiny bit more period. But honestly, it’s small and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. If you’re a beginner, this is your kind of size – under 5 ft – so you could get some practice in clean conditions. For the hardcore, better to wait and see if longer-range forecasts change.
Stay patient, check back later.

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.
