Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's ahead for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you—this run is looking like a bit of a flat spell for Indicas. We've got a solid 16-day window to talk about, but there's not a single day in there that I’d get out of bed early for. The forecast is showing persistent cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SE, and the swell just doesn’t have any real push behind it.
Right from Wednesday the 8th of July, it’s a struggle. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, about a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s where the good news ends. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, hitting 177 (in brackets) on the first morning, but it’s all coming from a short-period ESE direction at 4 ft, and the wind is a messy cross-on. That pattern basically locks in for days. The surf quality is just poor—choppy, bumpy, and not worth paddling out for.
We do see a little bump in combined energy up to 194 (in brackets) on Saturday the 11th, with 4 ft of swell, but it's still short-period at 8 seconds and the wind hasn't cleaned up. For a spot like this that needs a clean NE groundswell to really work, the onshore and cross-onshore junk from the southeast is just killing it.
As we move into the second week, from the 14th onward, the energy drops even further. Combined swell values slide into the double digits—down to 89 and 79 (in brackets) on the 13th—and the swell height barely scrapes 3 ft. The period stays short, the wind stays wrong. There's a bit of respite on the 20th and 22nd where the energy climbs back to 124 and 138 (in brackets), but it's still the same story: 3 ft of short-period ESE swell with cross-on wind. No standout days. No clean windows.
Indicas is an inconsistent reef break for advanced surfers, and it's not often that we see a stretch this long with absolutely nothing recommended. This is one of those blank runs where the conditions just aren't cooperating. It’s a tough one to call, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes in this area.
If you’re determined to get wet, the best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 15th, where the wind swings slightly more onshore from the ESE at only 6 mph, giving you a slightly less choppy surface, but with only 3 ft of 8-second swell and energy at 111 (in brackets), it’s still a marginal session at best. There’s just no punch to it.
So, yeah, I’d say give it a miss for now. Keep an eye on the charts—these things can change, but as it stands, put the board away for a bit.
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.
