The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the coming weeks, and I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough run ahead. We’re talkin’ about Indicas, a reef break that’s built for the advanced crew, and it’s exposed to the open ocean. Water temp is sitting around 86°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about.
Right now, going into Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s just no love. The swell is small, cross-onshore wind is mucking it up, and the energy is weak (127). That’s the story for the next several days. The swell height barely pushes past 4ft, and the period is short – 7 to 8 seconds – so it’s all windswell, no punch. The wind is a constant problem, mostly from the SSE or SE, keeping things choppy and messy. This is a real flat spell, and it’s gonna last all the way through the first week and into the second.
Towards the end of the first week – around Thursday afternoon the 6th and into Friday the 7th – we get a bit of a bump. Swell picks up to 5ft then 6ft from the east, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 237 and then 450 (moderate), which sounds promising, but the wind is howling onshore from the ENE and E at 18-22 mph. It’s blowing straight onshore, so the surface is gonna be blown out. That’s kite-surfing wind, not proper surfing wind. The water temp anomaly is missing for those days, but that’s the least of our worries.
After that Friday, it drops back down. The second week sees swell shrinking to 3ft and below, with periods stuck at 7-8 seconds. The wind stays mostly cross-onshore from the ESE, and the energy sinks back to weak (under 100). By the 17th of August, we’re looking at 2ft, 8-second windswell with only 60 energy. Honestly, it’s a long, dry stretch.
There’s no standout here. No session that makes you want to rush out. The offshore wind is almost never in our favor, and the swell is too small or too short-period to do anything with. Indicas is an inconsistent spot to begin with, and when it’s like this, you just have to wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.

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.
