Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Indicas. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’re looking at a long, dry run with nothing recommended.
Right from the start, we’ve got a problem. The first swell we see, around Wednesday the 8th of July, is a weak 4 ft from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is only 197 (moderate), and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph. That’s just messy, choppy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
This pattern just doesn’t let up. Through the rest of the first week and into the second, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell. The heights drop from 4 ft down to 2 ft, the period is a constant 8 seconds, and the energy numbers fall from 177 down to the 40s (weak). The wind stays mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it choppy and poor. Indicas is an exposed reef, but with this little energy and bad wind, it’s not offering anything.
There’s a bit of a glimmer around the 19th of July when the wind turns cross-offshore and the conditions get clean, but the swell is still only 2 ft with an 8-second period. That’s just not enough to push the break. The last few days of the 16-day window see a slight uptick in swell back to 3 ft, but the wind swings back to a fresh cross-onshore, ruining it again.
Bottom line: Don’t bother. The forecast is a blank. For a spot like Indicas, a run of poor surf is more normal than not when the trade winds lock in. Unless you’re into paddleboarding on flat, choppy water, sit this one out. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
