The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Right, let’s talk about the surf outlook for Indicas. Straight up, it’s a tough one. This reef break is inconsistent and only for the advanced crew. Over the entire 16-day window, the wave energy is weak for most of it – we’re looking at a combined swell energy hanging around 30 to 70 for the first week, so barely a pulse. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first week is pretty flat and a write-off. The swell is tiny, 1.6ft to 2.3ft, mostly from the ESE. The period is short at 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, close-range chop. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore from the SE, making things choppy on the surface. There’s a brief glassy window on Wednesday the 15th afternoon through Friday the 17th morning, but with only 1.6ft of swell and no energy (combined energy as low as 39), it’s not even worth paddling out for. You’d spend more time sitting than surfing.
Moving into the second week, around Sunday the 26th, the energy picks up slightly but not in a meaningful way. On Friday the 24th, there’s a noticeable jump with combined swell energy hitting 181 and 227, with a period stretching to 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. However, it’s still small at 2ft to 2.3ft from the east, and the wind is still cross-onshore from the SE, so it’s messy. The standouts if you had to pick anything? The later part of the second week, around Saturday the 25th and Tuesday the 28th, sees the swell just tipping over 3.3ft from the E and ESE, with energy in the 100-200 range. But the wind remains cross-on or onshore, and the period drops back to 8 seconds or less. It’s still poor.
Honestly, there are no good options. The whole 16 days is a blank run – constant poor surf conditions with small, choppy, weak swell. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent SE breeze and small waves on a beach-and-reef setup might look ok, but for a paddle surfer, park your board. Forecasts can change, though, but for 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.
