Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot to look at, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
First up, the water temp is sitting pretty much where it should be for this time of year – nothing wild there, just your standard tropical bath.
The overall pattern for the next 16 days is a long, drawn-out stretch of weak, small, and choppy conditions. Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s going to get you paddling out with a grin. For the first week, from Monday the 13th of July right through to Sunday the 19th, the swell is tiny – between 2ft and 3ft out of the east-southeast, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, registering at just 80 or less. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, not giving us any quality. It’s a whole lot of “poor surf conditions” on the cards.
The second week, from the 20th of July onwards, looks even worse. The swell tries to nudge up to 3ft, still short period, but the wind picks up to 12 to 16 mph, making it cross-onshore and choppy. The energy creeps up a little, but it’s still weak, maxing out around 97. It’s just not worth a paddle.
The best on offer? There isn’t a standout. The only hint of a clean window is Monday morning, the 13th of July, at Indicas. We’ve got glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast, and a weak 80 energy. It’s technically surfable, but it’s tiny and weak. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and the sets will be few and far between. For a beginner, the swell is small enough, but the lack of power and consistency makes it a tough session. The best you can do is a fun little log on that Monday morning before the crowds maybe show up, but don’t expect much.
The rest of the window is a write-off. If you’re a kiter, the consistent cross-onshore winds and small, choppy waves might be more interesting than a paddle. For us surfers, it’s a long, blank run. It’s a pretty normal scenario for this area – when it’s flat, it’s flat.
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.
