The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at the numbers in feet and miles per hour for you blokes who work in imperial.
This is a tough stretch for Indicas. It’s a reef break, advanced only, and it’s inconsistent by nature. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a lot of nothing, with poor wind and weak swell.
Starting now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, the swell is tiny – around 2 to 3 ft from the east, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak, barely hitting the double digits. The wind is mostly a moderate to fresh cross-off from the southwest, making things bumpy. Water temp is about 86°F, which is normal for this time of year.
There is one small window. On Friday, the 31st of July, in the afternoon, the wind goes glassy with a light WNW breeze. The swell picks up just a touch to 3 ft from the SE, but still a short 7-second period. The energy bumps up a bit. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s your best bet, but don’t expect much.
The first week of August brings a little more size – 4 ft from the ESE – and the energy gets into the moderate range. But the wind shifts to fresh cross-onshore from the SSE and S, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. Not worth it.
The second week of August, the swell drops back to under 3 ft, and the wind stays mostly cross-on or onshore from the east. All poor conditions. The last few days show a small NE swell of around 1 to 2 ft with a longer period of 9 to 10 seconds, but the wind is still messy and the energy is weak.
Honestly, the whole 16 days are a dud. The lumpy, windy setup might be more interesting for kiting than surfing at this reef. Your only real shot is that Friday the 31st afternoon. Keep an eye on it.

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.
