Condos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Condos.

Honestly, it’s a pretty tough stretch. The next week and a half or so is just a write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing. The swell is tiny, the period is short and weak, and we’ve got a persistent cross-onshore wind that’s going to keep things messy and bumpy. The combined swell energy is barely ticking over, mostly in the teens and twenties, which is just pathetic. You’re looking at poor surf conditions day after day, with no real juice in the water.

The water temp is sitting around 84°F with a tiny anomaly of +0.5°F, so it’s about average for this time of year, nothing special.

The first real glimmer of anything half-usable doesn’t appear until Wednesday, July 15th. On that Wednesday morning, the wind drops to glassy, which is a major positive. The swell is still only about 3 ft from the SE with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak and short, but at least it’ll be clean. The combined energy bumps up to 91, which is still weak, but the glassy conditions will make it look a lot better than the junk we’ve been dealing with. This is the only window that even gets a “surfable” tag, so if you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning is your best bet. The rest of that day and the following days are back to poor conditions.

There’s a small rise in energy around Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, with combined energy hitting 118 and 193, but the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it poor. The swell direction is SE, which is not the optimum for Condos, but the winds just ruin it.

Forget any standout sessions here. There’s nothing to get excited about. This is a long, flat, and messy run. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger wind days around the 9th and 10th (18-22 mph) might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
