The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for Indicas over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Indicas is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing but poor surf conditions stretching right across the forecast. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 86°, about 2° above the average for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive I can find.
The pattern kicks off Monday the 13th with tiny 2ft swell from the ESE at a short 8 seconds, and a risk of thunderstorms with a light cross-offshore wind. The wave energy is weak, only 62, and the quality is just poor. This sets the tone for the whole run.
Tuesday the 14th stays small with 2ft ESE swell and onshore winds, and that limp 8-second period. We get a brief moment of clarity on Friday morning the 17th when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft from the ESE with only 42 energy – you’d be bobbing around more than surfing.
Things try to pick up a little around Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, with swell height nudging up to 4ft and 4ft from the ESE and E, and the combined energy climbing into the moderate range (155 and 158). But with cross-winds blowing at 12-16 mph and those short 7-second periods, it’s going to be chopped-out and messy. That’s not surf for a paddle board; if you’ve got a kite, maybe give it a look.
In the second week, Saturday the 25th sees the biggest pulse of the whole outlook: 4ft from the E with a slightly longer 9-second period and energy hitting 184. But again, cross-onshore winds at 12 mph will keep it bumpy and uninviting. After that, it fades back to tiny 1ft to 3ft ESE slop through to Monday the 28th, with onshore winds finishing it off.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. The best on offer is that Friday the 17th morning with glassy conditions, but with only 2ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple. For the rest, the wind never lines up with the swell, the periods are too short, and the waves are just too weak to get excited about. It’s a tough run – but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now? I’d put the board away and find something else to do.
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.
