The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight up – if you were hoping for a firing surf window, this 16-day stretch ain’t it. The first recommendation doesn’t appear until the 2nd of September, but even then it’s a struggle. The entire run is plagued by tiny swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor surf conditions right through. There’s no standout session here, but let’s walk through it so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
The only break on the cards is Condos. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, though nothing too wild.
From Wednesday 2nd September afternoon, and right through Thursday, Friday, and the weekend, we’ve got nothing but poor surf. Swell heights hover around 1 ft to 3 ft, all from the SSE or SE, with period around 4 to 6 seconds – that’s junky, weak windswell with very little push. The combined wave energy stays low, between 10 and 39 most days, so don’t expect much. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, blowing 6 to 16 mph, keeping it choppy and messy. No reason to paddle out.
Moving into the second week, Monday 7th through Monday 14th September, it’s the same sad tune. Swell sticks between 2 ft and 3 ft, still from the SE, periods up to 6 seconds at best. The combined energy climbs a little – into the 40s, 50s, and 60s (moderate energy) – but the winds stay stubbornly cross-on or onshore, 9 to 16 mph, and every morning or afternoon is called “poor surf conditions.” Not a single clean window.
The only shift comes at the very end. On Wednesday 16th September morning, we finally see a brief moment of hope: a light offshore from the NW at 6 mph, swell from the ESE at 2 ft with a 6-second period. That’s small but clean, with barely any wind ripple. Thursday 17th morning also sees a light cross-offshore breeze. But we’re still talking tiny ankle-to-knee-high waves. The wave energy is only 30 and 24 (weak). If you’re desperate for a float in clean water, these are your best bets.
So really, the only two mornings worth a second look are the 16th and 17th September, but only for total beginners or anyone wanting a flat, glassy paddle. For actual surfing? This forecast is a washout.
Stay patient, mate. When things turn, you’ll know.
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.
