The Lowdown
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for any real surf around Indicas. We've got a solid stretch of small, weak, and mostly onshore slop that's gonna have you checking your phone more than your board.
The first ten days of this window are a write-off. We're talking wave heights barely pushing 1.5ft to 3ft, and the winds are mostly on or cross-onshore, chopping everything up. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the 43 to 208 range. There are a few moments on the 17th where the energy bumps up to 204, but the 4ft swell is coming from the NNE with an 8-second period – peaky, disorganized, and straight onshore. It's not doing us any favors. This reef needs some love, and it's just not getting it. Honestly, for parts of this stretch, the setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with those fresh SE winds kicking up around the 21st.
Now, let's fast forward to Saturday the 26th. Finally, a flicker of life. The morning still has that "marginal" feel with a cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon is where it's at. We've got clean conditions, a light breeze, and the swell bumps up a notch. The waves are only around 3ft, but the energy jumps into the moderate range, hitting 231. It's still not big, but after a week and a half of nothing, this is the standout of the whole run. It's coming from the NE, which is a touch off the optimum, but with that clean surface, it’ll be worth a paddle. Crowds are always a possibility at a spot like this, and if it looks clean, you can bet a few others will have the same idea.
Sunday the 27th offers a bit more, especially in the afternoon when it goes glassy. The swell drops back to around 2ft, but glassy conditions are a massive plus. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary – one for the longboard if you're desperate.
The 28th through the 30th see the swell trying to push up again. The 30th from the north with a 9-second period and energy of 319 is the biggest pulse, but it's got a full onshore wind, so it'll likely be lumpy and closed out.
Bottom line: if you're hanging for a wave, circle Saturday the 26th in your calendar. It’s the only real chance for a clean, if small, session. Everything else is a whole lot of nothing.

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.
