The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, to be honest, this is a tough run for our area. Looking over the entire 16-day window, it’s a pretty lean stretch with very little to get excited about. There's a bit of a pulse in the first few days, but the conditions are a mess. After that, it's a long, flat, and choppy grind with nothing I'd call a real standout. You'll be waiting a long time between any decent sessions.
Let's start with the first bit of action. We’ve got some swell coming in, but it’s paired with poor quality, so you’d be wasting your time. The first real shot of energy is on Saturday, August 1st. We’re looking at a 4 ft to 4 ft swell out of the ESE for Indicas, but the wind is a mess. The morning has a moderate cross-shore chop, and the afternoon is cleaner but the swell is small. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 147 in the morning and 162 in the afternoon. Honestly, it’s still not worth a paddle.
The rest of the run is a write-off. From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Friday the 14th of August, it’s just small, weak, choppy surf. The swell barely gets over 3 ft, the period is short and weak, and the wind is almost always a cross-onshore or onshore breeze. The combined energy drops well below 100 for most of the second week, meaning there's almost no power in the water. The few moments of glassy conditions on the Friday morning, July 31st, had a tiny 1 ft swell, which is hardly ridable.
The water temp at Indicas is 86°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a bit notable, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
There are no standout sessions in this whole forecast. The best you could hope for is a very brief, clean window on the morning of Friday, July 31st, with glassy conditions, but that 1 ft swell from the east is barely enough to get you wet. Don't get your hopes up.

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.
