The Lowdown
Alright, I'm Rusty, and I've got to level with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet for our region. The only break with any data is Indicas, a reef setup, but don't get your hopes up too high.
The water temperature is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The overall swell energy is weak, with values barely cracking the hundreds even at the best of times.
The outlook starts back on Wednesday, August 19th, with a tiny 2ft ESE swell at 9 seconds. The morning offered a window of clean conditions with a light breeze, but the score was zero. That little blip was followed by a long, long dry spell. From Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the month, it's a wasteland. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, the swell is tiny, and the combined energy is weak, stuck between 51 and 182 for most of that time. This is a stretch of days where you're better off doing something else.
Now, we do see a bit of a pulse coming through around the end of the first week of September. On Friday, August 28th, the morning shows a little promise with a 4ft ESE swell and an 11-second period, giving a combined energy of 316 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore, which is good, and the conditions are clean. But it's still a marginal call.
Honestly, the only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the window on Friday, August 28th, in the morning. The swell is a bit bigger at 4ft from the ESE, with a moderate energy level of 316, and the wind is cross-off. It's about as good as it's going to get. But even then, the overall score is a 1 out of 10, suggesting it's just barely surfable. For the rest of the forecast, the wind is onshore, the swell is small, and the conditions are poor. It's a tough stretch.
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.
Indicas is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Marsh Harbour. If you plan a holiday in Great Abaco - Bahamas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Marsh Harbour. Marsh Harbour has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
