The Lowdown

Right, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your area, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. There’s a solid 16-day window here, but we’re starting with a bit of a wait, and honestly, the whole run looks like a write-off for a proper paddle session.

Let’s jump into it. The only break on the menu is Indicas (reef). And it’s inconsistent. It’s an advanced, exposed reef, and it just doesn’t have the juice. The water’s a warm 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.

The first 16 days are a total desert. The whole first week, right through to the 13th of August, is just a mess of small, weak swell mostly from the SE and ESE, with periods all under 8 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not the kind of energy that makes a reef like this light up. The combined wave energy is mostly in the low double digits, with a tiny spike on Saturday the 1st of August hitting 188 (moderate energy), but it’s still only 4 ft and the wind is a cross/on-shore mess. The wind, from the SW, S, SE, and sometimes even onshore from the ENE, is just ruining any chance of a clean face. We’re talking cross-off, cross-on, and choppy conditions day after day. It’s poor surf all the way through.

There’s a small glimmer around the 11th and 12th of August, where the swell nudges up to 3 ft with a period of 7-8 seconds and the combined energy gets into the 90s and low 100s. But again, the wind is cross-on or onshore, keeping it messy.

Honestly, mate, there’s nothing here for a surfer. This setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is consistent, the swell is weak and messy, and the reef break is seeing none of the quality we need. Don’t bother checking the buoys, just know it’s flat and ugly. We’ll have to wait for a change in the pattern. Forecasts change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, get the kites or the foil out.

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.
