The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I’ve looked over what’s coming up for Indicas and, well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. This is a reef break that takes a very specific NE swell to work its magic, and for the next 16 days, we just aren’t seeing that alignment. The window is pretty much a blank run from the start, all the way through to the end of the third week of September.
The whole first week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells from the ESE and E, all below 3ft. The combined energy is barely registering, often sitting below 100 units. On top of that, the wind is a constant problem – mostly a cross-onshore breeze, sometimes just straight onshore, which will make things messy and choppy. The strong point of a reef break is the shape, but with these directions and no real power, it’s just not going to fire. You’d be scratching for anything rideable.
There’s a shift around Monday the 23rd of September. The swell picks up to 6ft to 6ft from the SE, and the combined energy jumps into the 300s, meaning there’s finally some push. But those are still onshore winds and period is around 6 to 7 seconds, which is short period, slopey stuff. That size with that wind on a reef isn’t a good look for a paddle surfer. Honestly, that combo of solid onshore wind and moderate chop? That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at Indicas.
So here’s the takeaway: there are no recommended sessions in this 16-day run. It’s a poor run for the area, which does happen when you’re waiting for a specific directional swell. Don’t hold your breath – the forecasts can always shift, but as it stands, save your energy for another time. Keep an eye on the charts, boys.

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.
