The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window here, and to be honest, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Condos. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, and the score is a flat zero for the entire run. Let’s break it down.

We’re starting now, and the first recommendation is for Condos itself. There’s no real standout at all, but if you’re absolutely desperate, the best of a bad bunch is the Sunday morning, August 16th. You’ve got a tiny 3-foot SE swell, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is a measly 60, which is barely a ripple. The wind is light from the east at 9 mph, coming straight onshore, so it’s going to be blown out and choppy. The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, so not a surprise there.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a washout. From Monday, August 17th, right through to the end of the month, the swell never gets above 3 feet, and the period stays short, between 4 and 6 seconds. The wind is persistently from the SSE or SE, almost always cross-onshore or directly onshore, picking up to 15-22 mph on some afternoons, which will make it lumpy and horrible. The combined energy rarely breaks 60, and most days it’s in the teens or twenties.

For example, Thursday, August 20th, is particularly ugly with a fresh breeze from the SSE at 18-22 mph and a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. The surf is just poor, day after day. There’s a gap of consistent poor conditions, with no real improvement. The swell direction is from the SE, which is the optimum swell direction for Condos, but with the size being so small and the wind so bad, it doesn’t matter.

Looking further into the second week, from around August 25th onwards, it’s more of the same: tiny swell, short periods, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is weak, with combined energy values mostly under 50. The conditions are consistently poor for surfing.

Honestly, for a beginner spot like Condos, the swell never gets too big—it’s all under 5 feet, so it’s not dangerous, but it’s just not worth paddling out. The short period (4-6 seconds) means the waves are weak and won’t hold shape. With the wind persistently onshore or cross-onshore, the surface will be choppy and messy. This is a total write-off for paddle surfing. The setup might be more interesting for kite surfing, given the consistent onshore wind and small, weak waves, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.

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.
