The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for our stretch of coast. We’ve got a long stretch of small, mostly onshore-affected surf ahead, so keep the board bagged up unless you’re keen on a bit of a paddle for nothing. The good news is, toward the end of the window, the wind looks like it might finally do us a favour, but even then, we’re not talking about anything substantial.
Right now, for the first week or so, we’re looking at a mix of south and southeast windswell, but it’s weak. The wave energy is low, mostly sitting in the teens and twenties (20 to 30), and the swell is barely pushing 2.3ft with a short, weak period of 4 to 5 seconds. That’s not going to break anything with any sort of push. The winds are mostly cross to cross-onshore, with a moderate breeze out of the southeast for the afternoons, which will just chop up whatever tiny bumps are out there. Mornings aren’t much better.
We do have a bit of a bright spot on the 16th, when a light northerly cross-offshore breeze makes things clean, but with only 1.6ft of swell and a 6-second period, it’s going to be tiny and gutless. It might be a fun one for a longboard if you’re desperate, but it’s not going to be a session to write home about. The swell direction is from the southeast, which is okay for a south-exposed break, but there’s just no energy behind it.
The water is currently a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, running at 85.8°F, which is a bit unusual, but that’s about the only thing that’s got any warmth to it.
Looking ahead to the second week, we finally see a little more push. From the 20th and into the 21st, the swell builds slightly to 3ft, and the energy ticks up to the forties (44 to 46). The period is still short, around 5 to 6 seconds, so it’ll be soft and disorganized. But here’s the thing – on the morning of the 21st and the 22nd, we get light winds, and on the 22nd, it goes glassy. That’s the standout window. If you’re going to get wet at all in this stretch, the morning of the 22nd is your shot. It’s still small, but it’ll be clean and rideable on a longboard. The swell is from the southeast, and even though it’s weak, the lack of wind will make it look ten times better than anything else we’ve had.
This spot, Condos, is fairly consistent, so it’s not like the place is totally dead, but with conditions like this, stay patient. Forecasts can change, and it won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, keep your expectations low. Crowds are possible at the better times, especially if that glassy morning materializes.
That’s it from me. Keep an eye on that weather map and hope for a bigger pulse. Catch you next time.

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.
