The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get one thing straight from the top. We're looking at the 16-day window for Indicas, and honestly, it's a rough run. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first four days, with tiny knee-high slop and poor conditions through to the 5th. The water temperature at Indicas is sitting at 86° which is a touch warmer than normal for September, but that's about the only positive.

We finally get a sniff of something on Sunday morning, September 6th, but it’s still a grind. The swell is a weak 2ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is pitiful at just 87 (weak). A light cross-offshore wind from the SSW cleans it up enough to call it “surfable,” but with a rating like that, you’re just getting a few close-outs on the inside. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

For the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s a total write-off. From Monday the 7th right through to the 18th of September, the scores don’t budge above a 1, and most days are marked as “poor surf conditions.” The wind is almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little energy there is. The swell heights bobble around between 1ft and 4ft, but the period rarely cracks 9 seconds. Around the 13th and again on the 19th, the swell energy kicks up into the hundreds – 233 and 239 respectively (moderate) – but it’s useless because it’s either a choppy cross-onshore mess or blowing straight onshore. That’s a classic case of “looks better on paper than in the water.”

The one standout – if you can call it that – happens way out in the forecast. On Saturday, September 19th, we see swell from the NE at 4ft with a period stretching to 10 seconds, and the energy reading hits 251 (moderate). That’s the biggest, longest-period pulse of the whole period. But the caveat is brutal: a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the NE on Sunday morning the 20th just chops it to bits. For that Saturday, the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. For an exposed reef like Indicas that needs something special, that simply isn’t it.

The bottom line: this is 16 days of near-zero quality. There are no peaks, no windows of clean glass, and no standout sessions. The area just isn't firing. Sometimes it goes like that. Don't hold your breath.

Stay safe, 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.
