Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s call a spade a spade – the next 16 days at Indicas are a total dud. This is a shallow reef that needs a proper NE groundswell, and we’re stuck with weak, short-period ESE slop. Winds are cross-onshore or onshore almost every day, making it a choppy mess. The water’s running 86°F, which is 2°F above average – a touch warmer than normal, but that doesn’t help the waves.
From Tuesday July 7 through Wednesday July 22, the forecast gives every session a goose egg. Swell tops out at 4ft, period never hits 10 seconds, and the combined wave energy ranges from feeble to moderate (64–197). There’s no window worth chasing. Even the two afternoons that get a “barely surfable” rating – Sunday July 19 (afternoon) and Monday July 20 (afternoon) – offer only 2–3ft ESE swell with light wind. The 20th afternoon goes glassy for a bit, but with that short period and weak energy it’s hardly worth the paddle.
Bottom line: a total blank run. For an inconsistent, expert-only reef like Indicas, these dry spells are normal. Forecasts might change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
