The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim run for Indicas. This is a real dry spell, and we're looking at a solid 16-day window with nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is flagged as poor surf conditions, and it never really kicks into gear. There's a long gap of quiet, frustrating days ahead.
The water is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – not a shocker, but it's there.
We start on Saturday the 25th of July with a bit of a mess. A weak 3.3ft easterly swell is rolling in with a short, weak 8-second period, and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the southeast at 9 mph. The combined energy is a paltry 115 (weak), and it's got that risk of thunderstorms hanging over it. Sunday the 26th is a touch cleaner with a light offshore wind in the afternoon, but the swell drops to 2.6ft, and it's just ordinary. Monday the 27th through to Friday the 31st is a blur of cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny and inconsistent, with energy readings barely hitting 80 (weak). The period drops to a shocking 6 seconds on the 30th.
As we roll into August, things try to pick up a little. Saturday the 1st of August sees the swell nudge up to 4.3ft with a 150-202 (weak to moderate) energy reading, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore, so it's clean but messy. The swell is still a short-period easterly. From Sunday the 2nd through to the end of the forecast on the 9th, the wind swings onshore and stays that way. The swell bumps up to 4.9ft on the 6th of August (energy 210, moderate), but it's a crumbly 7-second period and the wind is onshore. That's a choppy, blown-out mess, and it's really only one for the experts if you're desperate, but honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
There is no standout. Not a single session here gets a thumbs up. It's a complete blank.

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.
