The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a window that stretches out for over two weeks, but you're gonna be waiting a while for anything that's even worth looking at.

The long and short of it is, we're looking at a whole lot of small, weak, and messy conditions. For the first week, from the 7th through to the 14th, you can pretty much write it off. We're talking ankle-biters in the 2ft to 4ft range, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little is there. The energy is just weak, and it tells you there's nothing behind it. There will be a few days where it goes glassy, like Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, but the swell just isn't there.

The real kicker is that the swell direction is coming from the ESE, which is just about the worst direction for Indicas. It's a reef break that needs that northeast groundswell to get going properly. So even as the swell tries to push up a little around the 15th and 16th, with heights getting to 4ft and energy climbing, the wind is going to be all over it. It's going to be a crumbly, cross-onshore mess, and not worth the paddle out.

Now, hold on, because we do have a highlight. It’s not perfect, but it's the best of a bad bunch. On Monday the 17th, we finally see a change. The wind is forecast to drop right out, going glassy, and the ESE swell is still in the water, albeit smaller, around 4ft to 4ft. The period stretches out to 10 seconds, which is a plus. It's not going to be the cleanest, most powerful wave you've ever surfed, but it will be the most enjoyable conditions of the whole forecast. This will be your window. Get out there on the high tide and make the most of it.

After that little tease, we're back to ordinary. The 18th sees the wind come back onshore. The 19th brings a bit more size, up to 5ft, and the energy jumps up strong, but the ESE wind is blowing straight onshore. That's a complete mess, just making it lumpy and closed out. It's actually looking more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. Then, it fades again, and we end the window with a tiny, weak pulse of energy from the southeast on the 21st and 22nd.

So that's the story. One solid window, and it's the morning of the 17th. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it. Keep the board waxed for that Monday morning.

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.

Indicas is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Marsh Harbour. If you plan a holiday in Great Abaco - Bahamas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Marsh Harbour. Marsh Harbour has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
