The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The south coast is the only game in town for the whole 16 days, but to be honest, it's a long, flat stretch ahead with very little to get excited about. The surf just isn't showing up.
Indicas is the only spot offering any swell, but this is a real battle with the conditions. It's a reef break for advanced surfers only, and even then, it's inconsistent. We start off Sunday the 26th with a tiny 3ft easterly swell at 8 seconds and cross-off winds. The energy is weak (76), and honestly, it's just poor. Monday and Tuesday stay small, between 2ft and 3ft, with those pesky cross-off winds picking up. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The week drags on with the same story: small swell, poor direction, and moderate to fresh cross-off or cross-shore winds. It feels like a long blank run. The combined energy rarely cracks triple digits, staying under 100 until Friday the 31st. On Friday afternoon, we get a tiny glimmer – the swell bumps up to 3ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, and the wind finally swings offshore from the west. The energy jumps a bit to 103 (moderate), and the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it's a 1 out of 10 score day, so keep your expectations on the floor. If you’re desperate, you might find a cleanish, weak little wave.
Then we hit a wall. Saturday the 1st of August through to Monday the 10th is a write-off. The swell tries to push to 5ft on Saturday morning, but it's coming from the SE with a fresh cross-shore wind, making a lumpy, choppy mess. The energy jumps to 290 (moderate), but the quality is shot. After that, it fades back to 2ft to 3ft, all onshore or cross-onshore from the east and southeast. The only other tiny spark is on Saturday the 8th, when the wind goes glassy in the afternoon with a 3ft swell, but again, it's ordinary. For the rest of the period, the waves are too weak and the wind is wrong. Even the bigger energy days are ruined by the wind direction.
So, the bottom line: if you're a local and you have to paddle out, Friday afternoon the 31st of July is your only real shot at something not completely awful. Otherwise, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard for most of this run. Forecasts can change, but this stretch is looking bleak.
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.
