Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – if you're looking at Condos for the next couple of weeks, I'd be looking elsewhere. The forecast for this stretch of coastline is a tough one.
Over the next 16 days, we're looking at a consistent run of small, choppy, and onshore-affected surf. Honestly, it's a bit of a bummer. The swell direction is mostly out of the SE, which is what the spot wants to see, but it's just not delivering any quality. The combined wave energy is weak, never breaking into the triple digits for most of the first week, with values like 82 and 59 (indicating weak energy). The wind is a constant problem – it's coming from the SSE, SE, or E, blowing either cross-on or directly onshore, keeping the surface messy and lumpy. There's a storm risk on a few of those early mornings and afternoons, which is just adding insult to injury.
The swell height hovers around 3 ft for most of the first week, with a short, weak period of only 5-7 seconds. That's not going to give you any push or shape. The conditions are consistently described as "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0 throughout.
There's a slight uptick in energy around the 14th and 15th of July, with the combined energy hitting 165 and 174 (moderate energy), but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore breeze, making it lumpy and hard to surf. The swell height pushes to 4 ft, but with that onshore wind, it's going to be a messy, blown-out closeout.
Into the second week, from the 19th of July onwards, the situation doesn't really improve. The winds stay cross-onshore, the swell energy drops back down into the weak range (30-80), and the swell period is still short. It's the same story: small, weak, and choppy.
For a beginner-friendly break that's fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is the only thing that's not a disappointment. I'd say this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the persistent cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell. We're looking at a blank run of at least two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, don't even bother paddling out at Condos. There's nothing on offer.
Rusty.

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.
