The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. We’ve only got one spot to talk about, Indicas, and it’s a tough little reef that’s for advanced surfers only. The whole 16-day window is mostly a bust.
There’s a big dry spell right from the start. From Tuesday, July 28th, all the way through to Friday, August 7th, it’s poor conditions every day. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is either cross-off or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of clean waves. The combined energy is weak, staying between 38 and 81 for most of that first week—hardly a ripple.
Around Saturday, August 1st, there’s a little bump where the swell hits 4ft to 4ft out of the SE, and the combined energy jumps to about 168. That sounds alright, but the wind turns cross-shore and then cross-onshore from Sunday the 2nd onward, chopping it up bad. The period is short at 8 seconds, so no power behind it. It’s messy, not worth the drive.
By Saturday, August 8th, we get a brief window. Early morning shows 3ft swell with glassy wind and combined energy at 104. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is the best we’ll see. For a reef that’s inconsistent, this is a rare moment where it might line up for a few clean ones. The swell is from the ESE, but this break prefers NE swell, so direction is off. Still, glassy conditions can make anything look good. Water temp is about 86°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, it fades again. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th drop back to 2ft to 3ft with onshore wind and weak energy. The second week is more of the same—small, rough, and forgettable.
Honestly, there’s not much to chase. For an advanced reef that rarely breaks well, this 16-day window is mostly a long wait for very little. The only chance is Saturday the 8th if you’re keen for a glassy morning, but don’t get your hopes up. If the swell had come from the NE, it might have been a different story. As it is, it’s a slow stretch.
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.
