The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look. The next 16 days at Indicas are gonna be a test. It’s a reef break, for advanced crew only, and it’s inconsistent – so when it fires, it’s a treat, but you’ll be waiting.

Kicking off Thursday the 13th of August, forget it. Tiny 2ft to 2ft from the ESE with a short 7-second period, cross to cross-onshore wind, and the combined wave energy is weak (39 to 44). Water temp feels about normal for this time of year. No reason to get wet.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th stay rubbish. Still small, still choppy, wind holds onshore from the SE. Saturday swell bumps up to 4ft, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, and energy is moderate (171 to 181). Conditions look poor.

Sunday the 16th is the first glimmer. Swell drops back to 3ft from the ESE, but the morning turns glassy with a light east breeze at 3 mph. Energy is moderate (110). It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Monday the 17th stays marginal. Still 3ft, but we get clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW in the morning and north in the afternoon.

Now, the standout. Tuesday the 18th of August – mark it. Same 4ft of ESE swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds – that’s groundswell, packing more punch. Combined energy is strong (370). Morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the afternoon turns glassy with a light southwesterly. This is your best window. Expect good surf conditions. For an inconsistent reef, when the sets come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are possible.

After that, it’s a long flat spell from Wednesday the 19th through to Tuesday the 25th. Swell sits between 3ft and 4ft, but periods are short (7 to 9 seconds), and the wind is mostly onshore from the east and southeast. Energy moderate to weak. Conditions poor and choppy.

Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th stay poor, though the 27th afternoon shows a slight clean-up: 3ft from the ESE, 8 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. Energy moderate (146). Surfable but ordinary.

Friday the 28th fades back to 3ft with cross-shore wind and weak energy (94).

So here’s the bottom line: if you’re after Indicas, the one day to go is Tuesday the 18th of August. The rest of the 16 days is mostly poor or flat. For an inconsistent spot, that stretch is pretty normal, but that Tuesday has some real hope.

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.
