Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe.
Honestly, this is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day run starting now, and to be straight with you, there’s nothing that I’d call a good surf day in the whole window. The first real sign of any ridable waves doesn't even show up until Wednesday, July 15th, and even then, it’s marginal. After that, we’ve got a long, flat spell until the energy starts to creep back up around the 23rd of July, but even then, the quality just isn't there.
The only break on the map is Indicas (reef). We’ve got a persistent easterly to southeasterly swell trickling in most days, but it’s small – we’re talking ankle to knee-high at best, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft. The swell period is short, sitting at 7 to 8 seconds, so there’s no push or shape to it. The combined swell energy stays weak, barely cracking 100 (136 is the highest early on, but the conditions are terrible).
Here’s the kicker: the wind is from the wrong direction almost the entire time. For this spot, optimum swell comes from the NE, but we’re getting hammered by SE winds, making it cross-onshore and choppy for days. There’s no clean, glassy spell to save it.
On Wednesday, July 15th, we get a tiny glimmer in the morning. The swell drops to 2 ft from the ESE, but the wind swings to a light NNW cross-offshore, giving us a clean surface. The energy is still weak (97), and the waves are “surfable but very ordinary.” If you’re desperate for a paddle and have a log, you might get a few crumbly 2 ft runners. But that’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much.
After that, it’s mostly small, weak, and cross-shore or onshore again. Even when the swell bumps up to 3 ft on the morning of Saturday, July 26th, the wind is a moderate SSW cross-off at 12 mph, with energy at 106. It’s clean, but it’s still just a weak, short-period wave. Not worth getting excited for.
For the beginners out there, the swell never gets above 3 ft, so it’s not too big, but the onshore chop and weak lumps make it a frustrating session. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer – those consistent cross-off winds on the 26th might give them something to work with.
Look, it’s a flat, windy run. Sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
Stay loose,
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.
