The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a slow start. There’s no surf worth talking about for the first few days. The first real chance to paddle out isn’t until Wednesday, September 9th at Indicas, and even that’s a tough sell.
Indicas is a reef break, advanced only, and it’s inconsistent. On the 9th, we’re looking at swell around 3ft, coming from the NNE to NE, with a short period of 8 seconds – so not much power behind it. The wind is onshore, which will mess up any chance of clean faces. The combined wave energy is moderate (199 to 213), but with onshore wind and short period, it’s not going to be a good session.
From there, it’s pretty grim. Through the rest of the week and into the second week, the swell stays small, mostly 3ft to 3ft, with periods dropping down to 5 to 7 seconds. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, and the combined energy drops back into the weak two-digit range for many days. There’s no standout session in this entire 16-day window.
The water is running a touch warmer than average for this time of year, at about 86°F, which is a bit above normal, but that doesn’t help the lack of waves.
Honestly, it’s a dry spell. The breaks are inconsistent, the swell is weak, and the wind is never in our favor. When the combined energy sits below 100 for days, you know it’s a quiet period. Things can always 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.
