The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Indicas.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The main issue is that the swell is tiny for the first ten days, with most readings under 3 feet, and the wind is almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy. There’s no standout, good surf on offer during that entire period.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the outlook. On the morning of the 30th of September, the swell picks up a bit with a 6 ft wave from the north, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 528 (moderate wave energy). The wind looks to be coming from the ESE, which is onshore, but it’s only a light breeze, so the surface might just be clean enough for a paddle. This is a long-range call, so don’t bet the farm on it, but if it comes together, it could be a fun little session for the crew who’ve been waiting.
For the rest of the run? Not much to write home about. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
Keep your eyes on the end of the month. Until then, it’s a good time to wax the board and wait.

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.
