The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I'm looking at this stretch and it's a bit of a tough one. We've got a full 16 days ahead, but the first two weeks are pretty grim. There's a solid gap from the start of the forecast right through to early August with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is just making a mess of things. It's a long, quiet run.
Now, let's talk about the only real break on offer: Indicas. This is an advanced reef break, and it's inconsistent, so it doesn't fire often. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We don't get any real action until the 8th of August. Saturday afternoon, we finally see something that's not a total write-off. The swell is tiny, just 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 93. The wind is a light offshore from the SSW, which is a major positive—it's going to be clean. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary," so it's not a standout, but it's the only window we've got. For an advanced surfer who's desperate, it's a chance to get wet on a clean, small wave, but don't expect anything epic.
The rest of the forecast through to the 12th of August stays small, with poor conditions and choppy, onshore winds. There's no standout swell or quality window to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the pick of a very poor bunch is the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of August at Indicas. It's a tiny, clean wave for the advanced crew only. Otherwise, it's a long wait for very little. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a flat spell you'll want to sit out.
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.
