Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Indicas. We're looking at a long, frustrating run of poor surf that doesn't really change much. From the very start on Sunday, July 5th, right through to Saturday, July 18th, it's a grim old story. The swell hangs around a tiny 2ft to 5ft from the SE and ESE, but the period is a short, weak 8 seconds the whole time. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, sitting between 57 and 253. The real killer is the wind. For days on end it's cross or cross-onshore, often with a moderate breeze, leaving the surface chopped up and messy. It's not what you want to be paddling out into.
Now, there is one moment that catches the eye. On Tuesday the 14th of July, in the afternoon, the wind goes totally glassy. WNW at just 3 mph. It's a beautiful, flat calm. But the swell is still only 3ft from the ESE with that same short 8-second period. The energy is weak, at 96. It's surfable, but it's flat-out average. Given the setup at Indicas, a reef break that's inconsistent and best with an offshore from the W, this glassy window is the closest we get to a standout. The water temperature is average for the time of year.
After that brief moment of calm, we're straight back into the poor stuff. From the 15th onwards, the wind swings onshore from the E and ESE, and while the swell nudges up a little to 4ft by the 20th, the conditions are always poor. The window to try and grab a few small, clean waves is that Tuesday afternoon. That's your pick, but don't expect any fireworks.
There's a real gap of poor conditions from July 5th right through to the 14th, and then again from the 15th onward. It's a big dry spell.
Stay safe, and hopefully the forecasts change for us. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
