The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit. This 16-day outlook is pretty grim, mates. The only break we’ve got is Indicas, a reef that’s inconsistent and rarely works, and the whole forecast is a bust. Starting from Tuesday, September 8th, it’s all poor conditions – every single session. The swell height maxes out around 4 ft, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. The water is 86°F, which is about normal for the time of year.
From the 8th right through to the 23rd of September, there’s no window of clean surf. The swell direction is mostly ESE or E, which is not the NE direction this break needs. The period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no power or shape. The combined energy stays weak to moderate, reading between 70 and 275, but it’s all wind-slammed. Towards the end, on the 22nd and 23rd, the wind picks up to a strong breeze at 40 to 45 mph, gusting onshore, with the swell getting a bit bigger but it’s just a white-capped mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for a paddle. There’s absolutely no standout session here. It’s a dry spell, and for this area, that’s just the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
