The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a real struggle for surf here. There’s just no good options on offer, so don’t bother waxing up yet. Let me walk you through what we’re looking at.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday the 12th right through to the 18th, it’s all poor surf conditions. We’ve got a weak, short-period swell (combined energy around 73 down to 31) coming from the SSE and SE, but it’s blown out by cross-onshore winds up to 19 mph. The waves are small and lumpy, nothing to get excited about. Even the little bump on the 16th with a bit of onshore wind and 2 ft swell is just messy.
Then we hit a glimmer on Saturday morning the 19th. Condos gets a glassy window with zero wind and a tiny 3 ft swell from the east (period 7 seconds). The combined energy is weak at 57, and the guidance rates it as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, this is the best we’ll see, but it’s really only a paddle-around session – not a standout. The water temp is about 86°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
After that, it all goes quiet again. From Sunday the 20th through to Sunday the 27th, the swell drops to almost nothing – heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft, combined energy as low as 4 or 7, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The last few days of the period are just tiny windswell with periods of 4 to 6 seconds. Honestly, it’s a flat spell that stretches over a week, and that’s more normal for this area when the conditions line up like this. No kite-surfing interest either – it’s just too small and weak.
So bottom line: if you’re desperate, the Saturday morning glass-off on the 19th at Condos is your only chance for a splash. Otherwise, keep an eye on the forecasts – these stretches don’t tend to stay poor for long, and things can change. But for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
