The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be honest, the outlook for Indicas is a pretty bleak run for the most part. The next week and a half looks like a write-off, with day after day of poor surf conditions, small choppy swell, and winds that are just not playing ball. We’re looking at a solid gap of about 8 days before anything even starts to look half decent. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the 16th of August, and even then, it’s only a slight improvement. The combined energy is weak to moderate throughout the first week (highest around 195), with that short, weak 7-8 second period swell just getting chopped up by cross-onshore breezes.
The one and only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Monday the 17th of August. The wind finally swings offshore from the west at 9 mph, and the swell holds at a clean 4 ft from the ESE with a slightly better 9-second period. The combined swell energy jumps up to 271 (moderate energy), and the forecast calls for "gentle offshore and clean" conditions. For a tricky reef break like Indicas that’s inconsistent, this is as good as it’s going to get in this forecast. The swell direction from the ESE isn't the optimum NE that this break loves, but with that offshore wind cleaning it all up, it’ll be worth paddling out for any advanced surfer who knows the lineup. The afternoon holds some decent cross-off wind too, so you could have a solid session.
Before that, forget it. Small, weak, and bumpy. After the 17th, the energy drops right back off and the wind turns messy again heading into the following week.
Keep an eye on that forecast though – sometimes a blank run like this can flick a switch.
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.
