The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Gotta level with you – it’s a rough stretch for Indicas. We’re looking at a long, flat spell to start, with nothing worth paddling out for until the middle of next week.
The whole first week of August is a washout. Through Wednesday the 7th and into the weekend, we’ve got weak, onshore slop with tiny swell and poor conditions. Don’t even bother checking the cam.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive around Saturday the 15th. Swell picks up to 5ft from the ESE, but the wind is hammering it cross-onshore at 19 mph. The combined swell energy climbs into the moderate range (277), but it’s gonna be lumpy and messy. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, especially for a reef break like this.
Sunday the 16th stays similar, with 5ft ESE swell and cross-onshore winds. The energy holds (284), but the conditions are still pretty average.
The one window that could be worth a look: Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. The swell drops a touch to 4ft and 4ft, still from the ESE, but the wind finally eases and goes onshore or lighter. On Monday morning we’ve got clean-ish 4ft ESE swell with the wind straight onshore. The period stretches to 9 seconds, so there’s a bit more shape, and the energy is moderate (243). It’s not a standout, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see in this run. Tuesday morning is smaller at 4ft, but still manageable. Don’t expect perfection, but at least you’ll get wet.
After that, it fades again. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are back to moderate, cross-onshore slop. The swell sticks around 4-4ft, but the wind ruins it.
Overall, Indicas (a reef break for advanced surfers only) is inconsistent and rarely delivers in this pattern. The water temp is a balmy 86°F, about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit. But honestly, save your energy. This is a long blank run, and it’s not unusual for the area when the wind and swell don’t line up.
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.
