The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
Honestly, looking out over the next 16 days, it's a pretty grim stretch for us at Indicas. There’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is a write-off – every single entry is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap with no real surf to get excited about. It’s one of those periods where you might as well wax the board for the fun of it, but don’t expect any waves.
The swell is hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the ESE, but the winds are just relentless. We’ve got a constant stream of cross-on and onshore breezes, mostly from the SE and ESE, blowing at 9 mph to 19 mph. This is churning the ocean up, making it choppy and lumpy. There's no break in the wind that would give us that clean, glassy surface we’re after. The swell periods are short too, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there's barely any energy behind them. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate at best, maxing out at 263, but with the wind, it’s just messy.
Even on the morning of the 7th of August, when the swell bumps up to 5 ft and the energy hits a moderate 263, the wind is still cross-on and choppy. It’s just not coming together. If you’re really desperate, the water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be cold. But for a surf? Save your energy for a better forecast.
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.
