The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Indicas are a total dud. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth chasing, and that’s just how it goes sometimes with this inconsistent reef break. The first real surf recommendation is nowhere to be seen, and it stays that way right up to the 5th of August. That’s more than two weeks of poor conditions.
The whole period is hammered by cross-onshore or onshore winds, keeping the surface messy. From now through the end of July, there’s a small pulse of swell – about 2ft to 4ft from the east and east-southeast – but the wind ruins it every time. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, and the period is short at 7 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and shapeless. The only half-decent moment comes late on Sunday the 26th of July when the wind turns offshore from the west, but the swell drops to just 3ft. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The following days have cleaner cross-offshore winds, but the swell shrinks to 2ft and the energy is getting weaker.
By the start of August, it’s a write-off. Swell drops below 3ft, the wind stays ugly, and the energy numbers are tiny. On the 5th of August, we’re looking at 2ft waves from the southeast with a pathetic 6-second period.
If you still want to go, Indicas is the only break in the picture, a reef for advanced surfers only. Water temp is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season. Honestly, it’s a tough outlook. Don’t force it, mate – the ocean’ll come good again. This is Rusty, out.

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.
