Condos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Condos. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in the forecast, but you’ll be waiting a while before there’s anything worth paddling out for.

Right from the get-go, from Monday the 6th right through the whole first week, the surf is just not happening. The swell is tiny, with heights barely pushing 1ft to 3ft, and the period is a weak 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not real surf. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, making everything messy and choppy. The combined energy is pathetic, reading under 50 for most of that time. It’s a write-off.

A real shame, because when the water’s working, it’s a comfortable 84°, which is right about average for this time of year. But it’s just flat and lumpy.

Now, we start to see a bit of hope around the second weekend. On Saturday the 11th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, with a slightly better 6-second period. The energy finally jumps into triple digits – a moderate 117 on Saturday morning. But here’s the kicker: the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore. It’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. You won't get a clean face. The best call for this spot is to keep an eye on it for Monday the 13th. The swell holds at 4ft from the SE, and the energy is good, hitting 223 on Monday morning. But again, that wind is just ruining it.

Later in the week, Tuesday the 14th morning has a brief moment where the wind drops to near glassy – just 3 mph from the S – but it’s still cross-onshore, leaving those little wind ripples. That’s the best wind condition we see, but the swell is still a bit jumbled.

Honestly, through this whole period, there’s not a single standout session. The swell tries to get going, but the wind and short period just kill any quality. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. Keep checking back.

Rusty.
