The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Indicas has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real dry spell for most of the 16-day window. From the 10th of September all the way through to the 23rd of September, it’s basically a write-off. Day after day of poor surf conditions, cross-onshore winds, and weak, short-period swell that just isn’t doing the job. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°F, about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, which is nice for a dip but won’t fix the waves. You’re better off saving your energy.
Now, if you’re patient and willing to wait, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. The standout window finally shows up on the morning of the 24th of September. That’s Thursday. The winds swing offshore, light from the northwest, and we get a clean, 4ft swell out of the southeast. The combined energy ramps up to 368 (moderate wave energy) and it’s looking clean. That’s the best we’ve seen in the whole forecast. It holds into the afternoon with a 5ft ESE swell and glassy conditions, energy hitting 380. That’s your session.
Even better, the 25th of September Friday morning keeps the fun going: 5ft from the north-northeast, clean with light offshore winds, and 235 energy. This is the peak of the run.
Now, a word on Indicas itself—it’s an advanced, inconsistent reef break that needs the right swell. When it works, it’s special, but it doesn’t fire often. The fact that we’re finally seeing a solid, clean window here is worth noting. The swell direction isn’t a perfect match for its optimum northeast direction, but with clean winds and decent size, it’ll still offer up some proper waves.
The downside? Crowds are possible here, so if you’ve been waiting out the flat spell, you might have company.
Bottom line: the first two weeks are a total bust. But if you can hold out until the 24th and 25th of September, you’ll be rewarded with the cleanest, most rideable surf of the entire outlook. It’s not a guarantee this far out, but it’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.

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.
