The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Indicas over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break, exposed and picking up swell from the northeast, but the truth is, we’re in for a long, flat, and frustrating run. There’s nothing worth getting out of bed for at all in this period.
The forecast starts on Thursday the 10th with small 3 ft swell from ESE, period of just 8 seconds, so it’s weak and short. The wind is cross-on from the southeast at 12 mph, making for poor, choppy conditions, and the combined energy is pitiful (158). This theme just keeps rolling: the entire stretch from the 10th right through to the morning of the 23rd is a write-off. Every single time slot is marked by poor surf conditions, with heights barely scraping 3 ft, short periods of 6 to 9 seconds, and most of the time a moderate onshore or cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy stays low, hovering between 54 and 138, just weak.
Now, from the 23rd of September, there is a bit of a change, but it’s not good news for paddling. The swell nudges up to 4 ft from NNE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 278 and 272, so there’s moderate energy. But the wind turns near gale force, cross-shore from the south at 31 to 37 mph. It’s going to be messy and blown out – honestly, with that setup and a beach-and-reef configuration, this looks far more interesting for kite surfers than for anyone with a paddle. The 24th and the morning of the 25th clean up a little, with strong cross-offshore winds from the SSW, but the swell remains marginal at 4 ft to 4 ft. The wave state is described as clean on the 24th, and there’s a surprising spike in combined energy to 458 on the afternoon of the 24th, which suggests a pulse of energy, but with 9-10 second period and a cross-off wind, it might offer a few decent but difficult waves for an expert crew at this inconsistent reef. Still, the overall score is poor.
So, bottom line: there is no standout session here. It’s a long, blank stretch. This is one of those times where the area just isn’t cooperating. Forecasts can change, but right now, the story is simple: leave the boards in the car and wait for a better window.

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.
