The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this forecast for Indicas.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, I’m not seeing much to get the heart pumping. There’s a real flat spell staring us in the face, and nothing is screaming “go time.” The water's lukewarm at about 86°F, feeling a little warmer than average for this time of year.
The first glimmer of any real wave energy shows up on Wednesday, September 9th. We’re talking a small bump of combined energy around 175 to 183 on the scale – that’s moderate, but nothing special. The surf is puny, about 3 ft from the NNE to NE with a short 8-second period, and the wind is blowing onshore at 12 to 15 mph. That’s a recipe for chop and frustration. This is a reef break that breaks rarely, and the wind is all wrong for the NE optimum direction. Honestly, this setup looks like it’ll be better for kite surfing than paddling out.
The rest of the window, from Thursday the 10th onward, is just more of the same: tiny surf, never getting above 3 ft, and always from the east or southeast. The periods stay short and weak. The energy readings are mostly below 100, or just barely nudging into the moderate range, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a long, bleak stretch of small, messy surf.
There’s a moment around Friday, September 18th, where we get a longer period of 12 seconds, but the swell is only 1 ft. The wind is still onshore, so there’s nothing to do with it.
So, to be straight with you, there are no real highlights here. For Indicas, this is a tough, unproductive stretch. We just have to be patient and wait for a change in the weather.
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.
