The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards. It's a bit of a quiet run ahead, so don't go getting your hopes up too high just yet.
We're looking at Indicas, a solid reef break that's set for a pretty extended flat spell. For the next week and a half, it's a no-go. From Friday the 11th right through to Monday the 21st of September, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. We're talking small, weak swell with a combined energy struggling to get past the 100 mark, and that's paired with onshore or cross-onshore winds that'll leave it choppy and blown out. For a quality reef like Indicas, it's just not worth the paddle.
There's a glimmer of hope for the last few days of the window though. Around Tuesday the 22nd of September, the winds finally swing around to the west-northwest, giving us some clean, offshore conditions. The swell is still pretty modest, sitting around 3ft from the east-southeast, but with that fresh offshore breeze it’ll be looking a whole lot cleaner. The energy picks up a bit too. Now, the swell direction is from the east-southeast, and Indicas likes a northeast swell, so it's not going to be at its absolute best, but clean 3ft surf at a reef break is better than a sharp stick in the eye. The period is short on those days, so it'll be a bit weak and mushy, but rideable.
After that, the swell drops back down again heading into the weekend of the 26th. There’s no true standout session in this whole 16-day stretch. If you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest waves will be on Wednesday the 23rd, with that 3ft swell and clean offshore wind, but don't expect any bombs.

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.
