The Lowdown
Alright, hope you're sitting down, 'cause I gotta be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating for Indicas.
Right now, we're looking at a real dry spell. From Sunday the 19th of July all the way through to the end of the month, there's just nothing doing. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and the forecast is full of "poor surf conditions." It's a tough stretch - a good two weeks where you're better off waxing your board and waiting.
The one little glimmer, the only day that even gets a sniff of a mention, is Saturday the 25th of July in the afternoon. It's not a classic by any means. Swell will be tiny, only about 3 ft from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 97. But for the first time in a while, we get a clean cross-offshore wind, which at least makes it surfable. It's a "better than nothing" type of session, but don't expect any power.
For the rest of the run, from the 26th through to the 3rd of August, it's back to the same old story. Swell dips below 3 ft, the wind is constantly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is low. It's a real bummer, but that's the hand we're dealt for now. Even with the water temp sitting at 87°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, it won't make up for the lack of waves.
Stay patient, check the charts, and I'll be here when it turns. 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.
