The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Indicas.
Honestly, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat and ordinary. For a reef break that needs a decent swell from the northeast, we’re getting almost nothing but small, short-period, weak energy from the east and southeast. It’s a real bummer.
The first surfable moment doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 26th. The swell is tiny at 3 ft from the east, with a period of just 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (94). The wind is a light cross-offshore though, so the surface will be clean. The water temperature is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Honestly, it’s barely surfable.
Monday, July 27th, it’s even smaller, with 2 ft. The wind swings around, but the wave size is just not there.
Then we get a little bump on Wednesday, July 30th, and Thursday, July 31st, with glassy conditions and a tiny 2 ft swell. The period is short, 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch. The combined energy sits around 58 to 90, which is very weak.
The cleanest conditions of the whole run look like they’ll be on Saturday, August 1st, Sunday, August 2nd, and Monday, August 3rd. The wind will be from the southwest, which is cross-offshore for Indicas, giving us clean faces. But the swell is still weak, only 3 ft to 4 ft from the east-southeast, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 126 on Monday, August 3rd, which is the best of a bad bunch. Even then, it’s just not a proper wave.
There are no standouts here. The best options are the clean mornings on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but you’ll be on a longboard, scratching for tiny, weak waves. If you’re a beginner, the waist-high stuff with clean conditions on August 1st is your best bet, but it’s still not great. For anyone else, it’s a real struggle. This setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Keep your chin up, though. It can’t stay this flat forever.
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.
