The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is a tough one for a paddle. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Condos, and the first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Saturday the 12th of September. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing but poor surf conditions, so don’t bother waxing up before then.
The water’s a warm 85°, which is 1° above the long-term average for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a bit toastier than usual.
Let’s talk about the only real standout: Condos (a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that’s exposed to swell). The best of the whole run hits on Saturday morning, September 12th. We’ve got a tiny 4ft swell rolling in from the SE with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s short-period, windswell-type stuff. The combined energy is moderate at best (151), but here’s the kicker—the wind is glassy, coming light from the S at just 3 mph. That means clean, smooth conditions, and for a beginner spot like Condos, that’s a rare treat. The water will be flat and inviting, perfect for a longboard or a soft-top. The swell direction (SE) matches the optimum swell direction for the break (SE), so it’s lining up right. Crowds are possible here, but with the lack of surf for so long, you might have it to yourself.
The rest of the day on the 12th? Afternoon turns messy with a cross-onshore breeze and choppy conditions, so get your session in early. The few days before that, from the 9th to the 11th, have bigger swell—5ft to 6ft—but the wind is cross-onshore and bumpy, and the energy climbs (up to 331), but it’s all poor surf conditions. Not worth it for a paddle; honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, circle Saturday morning, September 12th at Condos. It’s the only clean moment in a long, flat spell. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is what we’ve got.
Rusty.

Information about the Condos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Condos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Condos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Condos 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 (Condos) 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 Condos 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.
