The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We're looking at a pretty lean run for Indicas. I gotta be honest with you, the next week and a half is a real struggle. There are long stretches where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. You're looking at a lot of blown-out, weak, or just plain messy conditions.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window, is the Thursday afternoon session on the 24th of September. The combined energy of all swells is a solid 371, so there's some proper push in the water. We're looking at a 4 ft swell rolling in from the NE with a period of 10 seconds. The key here is the wind swings offshore from the West at a moderate 16 mph. That's going to clean it right up. For an advanced reef break like this, that's the sweet spot.
Before that, it's pretty grim. The rest of the forecast is a write-off. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but the waves just aren't cooperating. Even when we see a bit of energy, the wind is cross-on or onshore, making a mess of things.
So, if you're an experienced surfer, circle Thursday the 24th of September afternoon on your calendar. That's the one. The rest of the time, leave the board in the car and find something else to do.
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.
