Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me level with you. Right now, we’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead for Indicas. This is a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it’s meant to be an advanced wave. But for the next couple of weeks, the ocean's just not cooperating.
We’re looking at a long run of poor surf, starting Thursday 9 July and going all through the first week, into the middle of the month. The swell is small, between 2 ft and 4 ft, and coming mostly from the ESE, which is OK direction-wise, but the real killer is the wind. It’s cross-onshore from the SE and ESE, blowing at 9 to 16 mph, so the surface is choppy and messy. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with combined energy values mostly under 200, and often below 100 (89, 80, 87). The water temperature is 86°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the surf’s this average.
There’s no standout session here, no hidden gem. The best we get is a brief window on Thursday 16 July morning, when we get a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. The swell’s still only 3 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 120, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. It’s clean, but don’t get excited. After that, it drops right back off.
From around 17 July, we’re looking at tiny waves, often under 3 ft, with periods of 7-8 seconds and light winds, but the swell is just too small. There’s a brief spike on 23 July morning (Thursday) when the swell bumps to 4 ft from the ESE, but with a 7-second period and SE winds at 16 mph, it’s choppy and messy again. The energy hits 122, but it’s not enough to save it.
Honestly, if you’re keen for a paddle, 16 July morning is the only real nod, but don’t expect quality. For kite surfers, the persistent cross-onshore winds and small waves might be more interesting than for us surfers.
It’s a long, flat run with no real highlights. Hang in there.

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.
