Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, takin' a look at the numbers for your local break, Indicators. This point is picky—needs that west-northwest swell, and for the next 16 days, it's gonna be a long, dry spell.

The water is a standard 61°, nothin' out of the ordinary. Right now, we've got a moderate groundswell from the south-southwest (620 combined energy), but it's coming from the wrong way. The wind is blowin' onshore or cross-onshore, so it's a total washout through the first week.

We get a little bump on Sunday the 13th—some waist-high 4ft swell from the WNW with a glassy morning, but the period is a weak 7 seconds. It's surfable, but it'll be soft and not worth gettin' too excited about.

Monday the 14th pushes a bit bigger, 6ft from the WNW, but the wind goes onshore again and the period is a short 9 seconds. Choppy and messy.

The one and only real shot comes on Tuesday morning, September 15th. The swell is a clean 5ft from the WNW, and we get a glassy dawn. The period hits 8 seconds, which is just enough. It's not a standout for size, but for this fickle spot, the right direction and absolute zero wind is the whole game. This is your best bet, and for surfers who are comfy on a wave of that size.

After that, we're back to checking the charts. From around the 18th, we see some very long-period groundswell (16-19 seconds) from the south-southwest, with combined energy up to 480, but it's an angle that just won't wrap in here. The glassy mornings will look pretty, but the waves will be puny—under 3ft from the wrong direction. Indicators will be almost flat.

So, there ya go. There's a whole lot of nothin' in this forecast, and one Tuesday morning that might just save your week. Always the way with a spot like this.

Rusty, out.
