The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window for Indicas is a long, flat stretch of disappointment. The pattern is clear: persistent onshore or cross-onshore winds, a weak, short-period swell, and nothing that's going to get you out of bed. The whole run is a write-off, and we're looking at a solid 15-day gap of poor conditions before we even get a sniff of something barely rideable.
The first real chance of anything surfable is on Monday, August 17th morning. The swell potential is still tiny, only 3 feet from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. Combined swell energy is weak (102). But here's the kicker – the wind is glassy. That's a major positive. It'll be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It's a small, weak wave for a keen beginner, but it's not gonna offer much.
The next day, Tuesday, August 18th, sees a light offshore wind from the WSW creating clean conditions. The swell is still 3 feet from the ESE, period 8 seconds, and combined energy is weak (79 to 80). It's surfable, but very ordinary. That's the best this period has to offer, and it's a pretty sad best.
The water temp on the first mention is 86°, which is about 1° above the long-term average – feels normal for the time of year, a bit warm.
The setup here is a reef, but with such tiny, weak swell and the wind direction, it's just not firing. For the vast majority of the forecast, the conditions are a write-off. The only two mornings near the end (17th and 18th) give you a clean, small wave, but that's it. Don't hold your breath.
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.
