The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, givin' it to you straight. The first week and a half is a total bust. Nothin' but small, wind-chopped slop. The only spot in the mix is Indicas, a reef for the advanced crew.
From the 26th of August right through to the morning of the 6th of September, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is coming from the east or east-southeast, onshore the whole time, and the swell is tiny, from 2ft to 3ft, with a short, weak period. The water is 87°F, a touch warmer than usual, so you’ll be comfortable, but you won’t be doing much more than floating.
The first real hope comes on the 6th of September. The morning of Sunday the 6th goes glassy, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft. The afternoon cleans up a little, but it’s still tiny. The one to circle is Wednesday the 9th of September. The afternoon has a solid offshore wind from the west, with a 3ft swell from the northeast. The period jumps to 11 seconds, a proper groundswell, giving it some length and power. The combined energy is moderate (263). That’s the session. The 8th of September is bigger, with a 4ft NE swell at 12 seconds and a ton of energy (428), but the wind is rough and bumpy, so it’ll be a frustrating paddle.
This is an inconsistent spot, so when it lines up, you gotta go. The 9th of September afternoon is your window. Get out there.
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.
