The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Indicas.
Right off the bat, I’m gonna be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’ve got a lot of days with poor surf conditions and no real standout sessions. 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 full suit.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Friday, the 11th of September. The morning is still a mess with risk of thunderstorms and cross-shore wind, but the Friday afternoon shows a bit of hope. The wind goes glassy, calm, with a 3ft swell from the ESE. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s clean. The combined wave energy is a weak 101, so you’ll be scratching for waves. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen.
Then Saturday the 12th of September morning is alright too. We’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, keeping things clean. Swell is still 3ft from the ESE with a short 8 second period, and energy is 102. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s surfable if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the run. Winds pick up, chop rolls in, and the swell doesn’t get any better. We’ve got a stretch of days with no real recommendations right through to the end of the 16-day window. The swell tries to bump up to 4ft around the 18th and 19th, but it’s accompanied by moderate cross-onshore winds making it choppy and messy. Not worth the paddle for a point break.
So, the standout here is Friday the 11th of September afternoon. It’s the only time the wind goes totally glassy, and the swell is just about big enough to ride. If you’re an advanced surfer who knows the reef at Indicas, you might get a few clean ones. Just don’t expect much power. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
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.
