The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Condos is a tough one to write. We've got a 16-day window starting now, but honestly, for the first several days, there's next to nothing happening that's worth paddling out for.
The water's sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive I can find early on.
We're looking at a long, dry spell right from September 14th. Swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, and coming from the ESE to SE, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds. The combined energy is in the weak range (38 to 46), and the wind is mostly a messy cross-onshore. This isn't surf; it's a washing machine.
The whole run from the 14th through to around the 21st of September is just poor. The swell fades further into the 1 ft to 2 ft range with periods dropping to 4 seconds. Energy levels fall into single digits or the teens – barely a ripple. There are a couple of glassy mornings on September 22nd and 23rd, but with only 1 ft on a 4-second period, it's flat. You'd be doing more floating than riding.
Honestly, there's no standout session anywhere in this window. The swell direction is from the SE to ESE, which, for a break exposed to the SE and needing swell from that same direction, you'd think would line up. But the size and period just aren't there. The wind finally goes light and variable or glassy on a few mornings, like the 22nd and 23rd, but you can't surf what isn't there.
If you're desperate for a splash, the morning of September 22nd, with glassy conditions on that 1 ft SE bump, is the cleanest you'll see, but that's not a recommendation – it's a novelty.
The second week doesn't get any better. By the 24th, we're still stuck with 1 ft to 2 ft waves and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy never climbs above 14.
This is a classic case of an extended flat spell. For a spot like Condos, this is pretty normal. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now, and that's about all I can say.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
