The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for a proper surf at Induruwa. We've got a whole lot of lumpy, cross-onshore slop and stormy conditions dominating the forecast, so don't get your hopes up for anything magical. There are a couple of windows where it might clean up enough to be worth a look, but honestly, we're in for a rough patch.
We're looking at a solid, long-period SSW swell first up on Tuesday the 4th, pushing through at 4.3ft. The energy is strong, but it's being ruined by a cross-on breeze. It’s gonna be choppy and messy, not the clean lines we want. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The rest of that first week keeps the same story: onshore winds and risk of thunderstorms. The swell hangs around the 4.3ft to 4.9ft mark, but it’s just not clean. By Wednesday morning, the swell is still 4.3ft with a period of 15 seconds, but the wind is on it again. It's just frustrating, you know? Even when the swell pulses to 5.2ft on Saturday afternoon, it's all over the place.
The following week, from Monday the 11th, we see the swell start to ease. Tuesday the 12th sees a drop to 2.6ft with a shorter 16-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It's weak and weak-looking. On Thursday the 13th, the morning swell jumps to 5.2ft but with a terrible 7-second period and a cross-on wind. That’s just a messy, short-period windswell and not worth your time. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on days like this.
There is a small glimmer towards the end of the run. On Wednesday the 19th, we see a 3.6ft SSW swell, with a solid 19-second period and the energy building back up. The wind is still onshore, but the longer period gives me a little hope. It’s a promise of better things, but it's still a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not guaranteed.
So, the bottom line is, there are no proper standouts in this window. It's a long stretch of onshores and messy conditions. We might get a few semi-rideable mornings in there, but nothing to get excited about. The swell direction is from the SSW, which is the optimum for Induruwa, but the wind just won't cooperate.
Keep the faith. It tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change quickly.

A general guide to surfing at Induruwa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Induruwa 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.
