The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this isn't looking like a week for the highlights reel. We're looking at a pretty barren stretch for the near future, so if you're desperate for a paddle, you'll be waiting a while.
We've got a solid 16-day window on the cards, but it starts with a long, dry gap. The first real chance of any action doesn't pop up until the very end of the period. For the first week and a half, from late July right through to the start of the second week of August, it's a total write-off. The energy is just too weak to do anything with, and the wind direction is all wrong for the spot.
The only break on the menu is Indicas, a reef setup that's known for being inconsistent. It's an advanced wave, so it's not one for the groms anyway. But even for the crew who can handle it, there's just no swell to speak of. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to comment on there.
We'll see a bit of a pulse around the 8th of August, Saturday morning. The swell picks up to 5.2ft from the ESE, and the combined energy pushes up to a moderate 376. The wind will be a cross-off, which is a positive, but the period is short at 9 seconds. It's still being flagged as poor surf conditions, so don't expect perfection. It's a bigger day, over 5ft, so it's not for the beginners, but it's the only real window of opportunity in the whole outlook. The rest of that weekend and into the following week just fades back into weak, onshore mush.
So, bottom line? The 8th of August is your only real hope, and even then, keep your expectations low. Before that, you're better off doing something else. It's a frustrating run, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

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.
