The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for Indicas is a pretty grim stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat run with barely a pulse. The first decent surfable moment doesn't even show up until Saturday the 12th of September, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. That’s a solid week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for, so if you’re desperate, save your energy.
The water temp is sitting right on 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real glimmer comes on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning sees a little 3 ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a modest 122. That’s weak to moderate, nothing to get excited about. But the wind is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, and the report says “clean.” For a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely does anything, this is your one shot. The swell direction is from the ESE, but the break needs it from the NE to really fire, so it’s a bit of a mismatch. Still, with clean conditions and glassy potential, it’s the best of a bad bunch. Expect the waves to be small and weak, but if you’re keen on a paddle, this is your morning.
The afternoon of the 13th switches to a NNW cross-off at 9 mph, which is still clean but the swell drops a touch. After that, we’re back into the doldrums. The 14th and 15th show some small waist-high bumps, but the wind is not ideal, and the energy is low. By the 16th, it’s back to poor conditions.
Honestly, this is a bleak run. Indicas is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this forecast is a textbook example of why. If you’re not a local with a shortboard and a lot of patience, you’re better off sitting this one out. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
