Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Indicas over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up – this isn’t going to be a run to write home about. Indicas is a tough reef for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent by nature. Over the whole 16-day stretch, the quality is poor across the board. The wind is stuck from the southeast and south-southeast, blowing cross-onshore or just cross, so the surface is going to be choppy and messy the whole time. There’s no day where it all comes together.
From Saturday, July 4th, through the first week, the swell is tiny – mostly 2 ft to 3 ft from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, ranging from 57 to 86, so there’s no real punch. Even when the swell bumps up a bit around Tuesday, July 7th, and Wednesday, July 8th – with wave heights hitting 4 ft and energy climbing into moderate range (156 to 197) – the wind stays onshore, and the chop rules the day.
By Friday, July 10th, swell reaches 5 ft from the SE, and energy hits 286, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore 18 mph, making it lumpy and tough. This is for the advanced crew only, and with the short period (8 seconds), it’s not going to be clean or worth the paddle. Honestly, with that much swell and poor conditions, this setup might be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week offers no relief. From July 13th onward, swell drops below 3 ft, energy stays weak (under 100), and it’s the same cross-onshore breeze. The one slight change comes Sunday morning, July 19th, when the wind turns light cross-offshore from the SSW, giving a clean window. But the swell is only 3 ft from the ESE with a very short 7-second period – weak, crumbly waves that won’t do much for a reef like Indicas.
So bottom line – this is a blank run. No real surf to recommend across the whole 16 days. For an inconsistent spot like this, a quiet stretch is normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
