Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at Indicas over the next couple of weeks, I gotta say, the outlook is pretty grim. There's just no decent surf on the cards at all. The swell is small, the wind is almost always working against us, and we're looking at a solid 10 days or so before there's even a hint of something surfable.
We kick things off on Friday, July 3rd with a tiny 2ft to 3ft ripple out of the ESE. The wave energy is weak, reading just 111 (moderate wave energy). But what really kills it is that damn 9 mph cross-onshore breeze, making everything choppy and poor. That theme just keeps going, day after day: small, weak swell from the ESE or SE, with 9 to 16 mph cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not that it matters much, because you won't want to be out there.
Through the first full week, into the second, it’s the same story. The only change is the swell comes up a bit around Thursday, July 9th, hitting 4ft, and the wave energy climbs into the 200s, which is moderate energy. But the wind is still howling from the SE at 12 mph, cross-onshore. It’s not until Monday, July 13th that we see a glimmer of hope. The wind finally drops out, and we get a clean, glassy morning with light offshore winds. The swell is tiny, just 3ft, and the energy is only 106 (moderate wave energy). The waves are surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday, July 14th morning also looks glassy with a 3ft swell, but again, it’s barely worth getting wet for.
After that, it’s back to poor, choppy conditions with onshore winds for the rest of the period. Honestly, if you’re dead keen and the tide is right, the clean windows on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July mornings are your only real chance to get a few weak, crumbly ones at Indicas. But don’t expect anything memorable. This place is inconsistent by nature, and this run of poor conditions is just one of those blank runs we get. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
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.
