The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for this neck of the woods, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a rough stretch. You might as well hang the wetsuit up for a bit, because there’s hardly a soul-worthy wave in sight.
The only break on the menu is Indicas, a reef setup for the advanced crew. It’s an inconsistent spot that really needs a NE swell to get going, and we’re just not getting that kind of juice. The water temp is sitting at 30°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the ocean won’t bite.
We start on Thursday, 6th August, and it’s a total washout. The swell is a pathetic 1.5m from the east, with a weak 7-second period and onshore winds at 19 mph. The energy is feeble (205). The afternoon bumps up to a moderate 315, but it’s still onshore and messy.
Friday, 7th August, sees a bump to 1.8m swell with 8-second periods, and the energy is a solid 466. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the SE, turning it into a choppy, lumpy mess. It’s poor.
The entire first week is a bust. From the 6th through the 13th, the swell tanks, with energy readings falling below 100. Nothing but small, weak, wind-affected junk. The best we get is a 1.3m wave on Saturday, 8th August, but it’s onshore and short-period. It’s a surf-less desert.
There’s a gap of nearly a week here with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The second week wakes up a little on Sunday, 16th August, with a cross-onshore 1.3m swell from the ESE carrying a 9-second period and a moderate energy reading of 253. It’s still poor, but at least it’s a pulse. Monday, 17th, has a similar story with 1.1m and 9-second period, but it’s all cross-onshore chop.
The very end of the run, on Thursday, 20th August, sees a 1.0m swell with a 9-second period and a light ENE cross-onshore breeze. The energy is 164, which is the cleanest we get, but I’m talking about a light breeze making “small wind ripples” – that’s not a surf forecast, that’s a lake. It’s still rated as poor.
The only standout here is how bad it is. There is no standout. For the advanced crew at Indicas, this whole 16-day window is a total drought. The swell direction is wrong, the wind is wrong, the period is too short. It’s a classic case of a picky break going quiet. If you have a kite, the beach setups might look more interesting than this reef, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass.
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.
