Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Right folks, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards. The finder is pointing to a single spot, Indicas, and to be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special here, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. That’s a solid 13-day gap with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The early part is all small, weak, and choppy. On Saturday the 11th, we’re looking at a 3ft swell from the ESE, but it’s cross-on and the wave energy is weak (136). It’s just poor. That pretty much sets the tone right through until Friday the 24th – tiny waves, poor conditions, mostly cross-on or onshore wind. There’s a glassy moment on Thursday the 16th morning and again on Friday the 17th morning, but with only 2ft and 2ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple.
Now, the standout. Saturday the 25th of July, we finally see some life. The swell picks up to 4ft in the morning from the ESE, and the winds are a light cross-offshore from the SSW – that’s clean. The combined energy climbs to 178 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push. It’s still a short-period swell (7 seconds), so it won’t be the longest lines, but it’s surfable. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The pick of the whole window is Sunday the 26th of July. The morning looks sweet: 5ft of ESE swell, light cross-offshore wind from the SSW (5 km/h), and clean conditions. The wave energy is a solid 212 (moderate). It’s a short period again (7 seconds), but for a reef break like Indicas, that can actually help keep the waves from closing out too fast. The water should be glassy, the wind is light, and it’s the best on offer. Just keep in mind this spot is inconsistent and sometimes crowded, so you might have to share the take-off zone.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon both have that same 5ft swell and clean conditions, though the wind picks up a little. Still, the whole weekend of the 25th and 26th is your window.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never really gets over 5ft, so it’s all manageable. This is a reef break, so watch the shallow parts. And remember, Indicas is an advanced-level spot, so don’t get caught out if you’re not experienced.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat start, then a tidy little bump on the 25th and 26th of July. Sunday the 26th morning is the call. Don’t expect much else.

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.
