The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Indicas.
Honestly, looking out over the next 16 days, it’s a pretty grim stretch for this spot. The pattern is one long, frustrating wait with almost nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. It’s a real bummer because this is usually a setup that can handle a bit of size, but the wind is just not cooperating at all.
We start off on the 31st of July with tiny, weak swell from the east at just 1 to 2 ft. The wind is cross-offshore, which is good for the shape, but there’s simply no energy to work with – the combined swell energy is a measly 49 to 65. Add in the risk of thunderstorms, and you’d be better off staying dry. Saturday the 1st of August sees a bump up in size to around 3 to 4 ft from the ESE, with moderate energy in the 130s, but the wind swings around to a messy cross or cross-off, leaving the surface lumpy and ordinary.
From the 2nd of August right through to the 15th of August, it’s the same sad story. The swell hangs around in that 3 to 4 ft range from the southeast, but it’s plagued by constant cross-onshore winds. This means chop, lump, and generally poor conditions. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real push or power behind it. The energy figures drift between weak and moderate, never really cracking over 200. Even when the wind goes directly onshore on the 6th and 14th, the wave quality is still shot.
There is not a single standout session in this entire outlook. The forecast scores across the board are zeroes. With the persistent onshore wind and short-period swell, this exposed reef break at Indicas is just going to be a messy, choppy mess. The water temperature is around 86°F, which is about average for this time of year.
All I can say is, keep the board in the car for now, but don't get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in for a long, flat and windy run.
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.
