Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Indicas is cooking up. This is a reef break for the experienced crew, and it doesn't break all that often. The water is sitting at about 85°, a touch warmer than usual for the season.
Right off the bat, Thursday morning the 2nd of July is looking ordinary. A tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period, only 128 (moderate wave energy) and a cross-shore wind. Clean sky, but the surf is poor. That theme hangs around. Through the first week, we’re stuck with little swell bouncing between 2ft and 4ft, and the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore from the SE and ESE. It’s choppy and messy. Even when the energy picks up a bit – like Thursday the 9th hitting 246 – the onshore wind spoils it.
We get a bit more size on Friday the 10th of July with 6ft from the ESE, and the energy jumps to 394 (moderate to strong). But the wind is still cross-onshore and strong, so the surface will be ugly. Honestly, this looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of that stretch.
Now, a shift comes. Sunday the 12th of July, the wind turns cross-offshore from the SSW in the morning with 4ft ESE swell. Energy is lower at 161, but the wind state is "clean". That’s the best we’ve seen so far. The swell is inconsistent and under 5ft, so it’s not a standout, but it’s a window.
The real highlight, if you’re patient, is around Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July. Monday morning has 3ft ESE swell, 123 energy, and a clean cross-offshore from the SSW. Tuesday morning pushes 4ft from the same direction, 134 energy, and again a clean cross-offshore from the SW. Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore. This is it – small but workable waves with glassy conditions. For a tricky reef like this, that clean wind is gold.
After that, it fades. Wednesday the 15th drops back to 3ft, and the wind turns cross-onshore again in the afternoon. Into the next weekend, it’s a slow fade with small, weak swell and onshore wind. Not worth the walk.
So, bottom line: the first week is mostly a bust. The best bet is Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th – clean, small, and rideable for those who know the spot. Don’t expect a lot of waves, but the ones you get will be clean.
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.
