Table - best surf conditions forecast for Indicas over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s call it like it is. Indicas is in for a rough stretch. The whole forecast window is pretty poor, with the wind coming out of the ESE to SE most of the time, blowing cross-onshore or onshore and messing up whatever small waves are around. The water is 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first chance to get wet that’s even worth mentioning is Thursday, September 3rd. The morning looks iffy, but by Thursday afternoon the wind goes glassy. The swell is tiny, only 4ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is low at 197. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then it goes dead. From Friday, September 4th all the way through to the 12th, it’s just poor conditions. The swell drops to under 3ft, and that cross-onshore wind never gives us a break. A long, flat, choppy slog.
The one real standout—and I mean the only one—is Sunday, September 13th. In the afternoon, the wind swings to the west at 12 mph, blowing straight offshore and cleaning everything up. The swell comes from the NE at 5ft, but the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s short-period, wind-driven stuff. The combined energy is moderate at 218. It’s not the best quality swell, but with clean offshore wind, it’ll be the best wave in weeks. This is an inconsistent reef break for advanced surfers only, so you need to know what you’re doing. Crowds are possible sometimes there, but given how long it’s been flat, it might be worth a shot.
After that, Monday the 14th gets blown out again by strong cross-offshore winds, and the swell drops back off. So yeah, a pretty barren run, but that one Sunday afternoon gives us a reason to keep the board ready.

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.
