Condos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

First off, I ain’t gonna candy-coat it: it’s flat. The next week to ten days are lookin’ rough. That early window, from Monday the 7th right through to the middle of next week, is just poor surf conditions. We're talkin' small, weak lines, light to moderate cross-onshore winds messin' things up, and the swell energy is just flat out weak. Energy values are barely registerin' in the low double digits, like 10 to 65, and that’s no good for anyone. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 86°, but that’s about the only highlight. This period is a write-off for paddling. If you got a kiteboard, maybe, but the surfboard can stay in the car.

We’ll see a little bump in size around Friday the 11th into Saturday the 12th, with the swell pushin’ up to a full 3ft, but the period is a short, crumbly 5 seconds. That’s just not gonna have any power. It’s mostly cross-onshore and choppy, so it’ll be a mess. That weak energy, still only in the 30 to 58 range, tells the whole story. It’s just not worth the paddle out.

Now, the one tiny glimmer in all this… and I’m usin’ that word loosely… is the early morning of Thursday the 17th. There’s a brief moment where the wind swings around from the NNW as a light cross-offshore. The swell is tiny, 3ft at 5 seconds, but it might be clean for a short window. But look, it’s a 3ft wave with a short period. That’s a longboard only, ankle to knee-high kinda deal. Not a standout, just a possibility if you’re jonesin’. After that, the consistency just fades out again. The last week of the forecast is just as bleak, all small, weak, and onshore.

So, bottom line, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Nothing. It’s a proper flat spell, and for a spot like Condos that’s fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is a real bummer. It might not last forever, but it’s here for now. Keep the board in the wax, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t get your hopes up.

Rusty.
