Just down the beach from Domes and near the Lighthouse, you'll find Indicators. It's named after the rock in the middle of the lineup, which serves as a cue for sets heading towards The Point and Maria's. This spot can get tricky when it's on, so you need to be ready. To catch a wave, you’ll want to take off almost directly in front of that rock. If you’re feeling brave, you might even want to take on the Deadman's peak right in front of it. As you ride the wave, you’ll notice it starts to get better right around the rock, especially when the tide is high. The rock does help spread the crowd out a bit, so it's not too overcrowded, which is a plus.

When it comes to the waves at Indicators, you're looking at head-high to double overhead swells (about 1.2 to 2.4 meters). It handles swells from 4ft to 8ft (1.2 to 2.4 meters) and works best with NW, N, or even NNW swells. The wave type here is a mix of reef and point, breaking to the right. You’ll want the wind coming from the NNE, NE, ENE, E, or even SE for the best conditions. Generally, lower tides are better, specifically low to mid. Keep in mind, the paddle out can be a workout, depending on the swell.

As for access, you can park just before the lighthouse and make your way through the brush to get to the spot. Don’t expect a bustling crowd; you’ll mainly see a few locals, and the vibe is pretty chill. The best time to hit up Indicators is during late summer and fall for the tropical cyclone swells, or from late fall through early spring for some consistency. It’s a solid alternative to Maria’s when the conditions are right, and it works well for both shortboards and bodyboards, but you’ll need to have some experience to handle this break.
