Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright mate, it's a pretty grim outlook for Indicas. We're looking at a solid two-week stretch where the surf is mostly non-existent. Most of the swell is tiny, hanging around 2 to 3 feet, coming from the ESE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is low, mostly in the double or low triple digits, meaning there's just no power in the water. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, around 86°F.
The only time the wind lines up is on Sunday morning, July 12th, with a tiny 3-foot ESE swell and glassy conditions, but it's just too weak to make anything fun. You're looking at small, crumbly waves.
Things get a tiny bit better on Monday afternoon, July 20th, when the swell pushes up to 3 feet from the ESE and the wind goes glassy again. The wave energy gets over 100, so there's a little more push, but it's still just "surfable but very ordinary." After that, the wind turns against us, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes from the SE and ESE, building to 15-16 mph, turning that small swell into complete chop.
The biggest swell of the forecast shows up around July 22nd and 23rd, with 4 feet from the ESE, but it's blown out by strong 12-16 mph cross-onshore winds. The conditions are poor, choppy, and not worth the paddle. From the 22nd onward, everything is rated a zero. It's a flat spell.
Honestly, if you're looking at the whole 16 days, the only real "standout" is that Tuesday afternoon on July 20th with the glassy conditions on a tiny wave. It's not a great call, but it's the only clean window in the whole outlook. Otherwise, it's a long wait.

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.
