The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s shaping up for Indicas.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a stretch of days that’s gonna have you buzzing. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with very little to get excited about for the first week and a half. The dominant swell is a weak, short-period windswell out of the east-southeast, and for almost the entire first 7 days, the wind is just a dirty cross-onshore mess, or straight onshore. We’re talking combined wave energy sitting in the weak to moderate range (between 43 and 222), but it’s all junk. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

From Sunday the 9th right through til Saturday the 15th, it’s a write-off. Waist-high slop, 7-second periods, and onshore breezes. You’d be better off doing literally anything else. The 16th of August Sunday afternoon is the first real glimmer of hope. The wind finally swings around to a light cross-offshore from the north-northwest, and we get clean conditions. The swell bumps up just a touch to 4ft from the east-southeast, with a period stretching to 9 seconds. Energy hits a solid moderate 216. It’s not pumping, but for this stretch, that afternoon window is your best, cleanest shot. It’s the one true standout.

Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th tease with some cleaner windows – the Tuesday afternoon even goes glassy offshore from the west – but the swell drops back under 3ft. They’re surfable, just tiny.

Now, fast-forward to Wednesday 19th August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning shows a pulse of longer-period groundswell from the east-southeast at 4ft with a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps way up to 576 – that’s moderate-to-strong territory. The wind is cross-offshore. The afternoon looks even better: 5ft, 11-second period, and clean offshore wind from the west. That Wednesday afternoon is the best quality on offer in the whole 16-day window. It’s still not a massive swell, but for Indicas, that’s a solid, rippable day with clean walls.

Thursday 20th keeps the offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 4ft, and the energy falls off to around 213. Still worth a paddle-out if you’ve got the time.

After that, it fades fast. The last few days from the 21st onwards drop back into weak, short-period slop and onshore winds. By Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th, the swell is barely 1.0ft to 1ft, with very long 11-12 second periods but zero power.

In short: endure the first week, keep your eye on the afternoon of Sunday 16th for a clean window, and aim squarely for the Wednesday 19th afternoon session – that’s your best bet by a long shot. The rest is just time on the beach.

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.
