The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Indicas.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. This is a spot that needs everything to line up, and right now, it just isn’t happening for the vast majority of the outlook. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer until the final few days.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday, September 23rd. That morning, we finally see a pulse of energy swing in, with a 4ft swell from the NNE and a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 307 (moderate wave energy), which gives it some push. What’s really got my attention is the offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph. That offshore flow is going to groom the reef and make things clean. This looks like the standout window, and it’s an advanced-only reef break, so you need to know what you’re doing. It’s inconsistent here, so be patient and wait for a set. The afternoon holds a bit more size at 4ft from the same direction, but the wind goes a bit cross-offshore, and the forecast calls for risk of thunderstorms, making it a secondary call.
After that, the 24th of September sees the swell drop back a little with onshore winds, so not one to get excited about. The 25th and 26th of September actually show some larger swell building—up to 5ft from the NE with very strong energy (431, strong wave energy), but the wind is cross-onshore and fresh, chopping it right up. At that height and with that wind, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair, definitely only for experts who don’t mind a struggle. For the average surfer, that’s more of a kite-surfing kind of day.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a big gap of nothing, then one proper opportunity on the morning of the 23rd of September. Mark it in the calendar, but be warned, this break doesn't fire often.

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.
