The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. I’ve been through the whole 16-day stretch for Indicas, and I gotta say… there’s nothing here. Not one decent day. From Wednesday the 26th of August all the way to Thursday the 10th of September, it’s just poor surf, day after day. Over two weeks of no-go.
It kicks off on the 26th with tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, period at 10 seconds, but energy is weak (68) and the cross-onshore breeze has it choppy. Lousy. Thursday the 27th sees swell climb to around 3ft, still from the ESE, period dropping to 9 seconds. Some more energy (142) but the wind is still messing it up. This pattern sticks around – small waves, short period, and onshore or cross-onshore winds hammering it.
Tuesday the 1st of September, we get a bump to 4ft swell from the E, but the period is only 7 seconds and the cross-onshore wind is pushing 15 mph. Garbage. Wednesday the 2nd brings 4ft swell from the E, period stretching to 11 seconds, with moderate energy (403). But again, the wind is on it and cross-onshore. Choppy and poor.
The rest of the run just repeats – small swell, short periods, and winds that won’t let up. Even when the wind drops to a light breeze, the waves are too weak or the period is too short. On the 6th of September, we’re back to 2ft swell with 7-second period and cross-on wind from the NE.
Bottom line: don’t bother. The waves are junk, the wind is trash, and there’s no standout day. It happens sometimes – the ocean just shuts down. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
