The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Indicas.
First week is pretty grim. The combined swell energy is sitting around 61 for the middle of this week, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making everything choppy and flat feeling. Not much to get excited about. You’ll be waiting a while.
Then, around Friday, August 7th, things wake up. That’s the one to mark on the calendar. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we get a solid east swell, 6 ft to 7 ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy reads 989, so there’s some real punch in the water. Water temp is 86°, so it’s about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – a little toastier than normal, but not wild.
After that, it gets messy again. Saturday and Sunday are back to cross-on breezes and smaller, weaker waves. Tuesday, August 11th afternoon is another clean window – glassy conditions, 3 ft swell from the northeast at 11 seconds, combined energy of 284. It’ll be small but smooth. Same deal on Wednesday the 12th: 3 ft, glassy and clean.
Bottom line: Friday, August 7th is your best bet. Good size, perfect wind, and plenty of energy. The rest is for the patient ones or the kite surfers.

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.
