Condos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Grab your board and let’s be real with you—this stretch is looking pretty flat and uninviting for the next couple of weeks. There’s nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping, and I’d honestly be looking at other things to do than paddle out at Condos. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s about average—nothing wild there. We’ve got a long, empty run ahead before anything even thinks about showing up. The first few days are completely dead, with tiny, short-period junk and onshore winds messing up any chance of a clean wave. That gap stretches from now right through to the middle of next week, so don’t hold your breath.

Tuesday the 8th starts things off with a pathetic 2ft of wind swell out of the SSE, period of 4 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is weak, sitting at 14, and it’s just messy little wind ripples. Not worth the paddle. It stays like this for days—2ft, 4-5 second waves, onshore and cross-onshore winds, and energy readings in the low teens. The water temperature anomaly is a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only thing with any warmth here.

We finally see a slight bump on Friday the 11th, with the swell pushing to 3ft, but it’s still short-period junk from the SSE with 15 mph cross-onshore winds. It’s choppy and lumpy, energy creeping up to 56, but it’s still no good. The weekend stays in that same rut—4ft on Saturday morning but the wind picks up to 19 mph, making it fresh and lumpy. Not a single window of clean surf.

The whole first week is a write-off. The swell direction is fighting the optimum, the periods are all under 8 seconds, and the winds are mostly on or cross-onshore. It’s just a constant battle against chop and blown-out conditions. The combined energy stays weak, barely cracking 100 until the 17th when we see a slight uptick to 130, but the swell is still only 4ft and from the ESE with onshore winds. That’s still poor.

Even entering the second week, it’s more of the same. The 20th shows a brief moment of 134 energy, but it’s still only 3ft, short period, and onshore. The 22nd has a morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, giving it a brief clean look, but the swell is still a weak 3ft with a 5-second period. It’s a tease at best.

Honestly, there is nothing here. No standouts, no diamonds in the rough. This is a full-blown flat spell. Conditions like this are more about patience than anything else. Forecasts change, and it won’t stay poor forever, but for now, you’re better off checking back another time. There’s just no surf on offer.
