The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Condos.
Honestly, mate, the next week and a bit is a tough watch. We’re looking at a real dry spell here. For the first eight days, from Friday 11th September right through to Friday 18th September, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, mostly around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSE, but the killer is that cross-onshore wind. It’s blowing at 18 to 25 mph from the SE and SSE, keeping everything lumpy, choppy, and just plain ugly. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting between 41 and 99, which is no good for a proper paddle. Conditions are consistently described as poor.
There’s a slight flicker of hope on Saturday 19th September morning. The wind swings to a light W at 6 mph, going offshore, and the conditions turn clean. The swell is still only 3 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, and the energy is modest at 75, but it would be surfable. It’s still a beginner-level wave at Condos, so a fun little morning session for the learners. Water temp is around 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that Saturday morning, though, it drops right back off again. From Saturday afternoon through to Saturday 26th September, the swell fades badly, dropping to 2 ft and eventually down to just 0.7 ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions go back to poor. There’s a glassy moment on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th mornings with only 2 ft to 2 ft swell, but there’s just no energy behind it. It’s a long, flat run with nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, the one real standout in this whole 16-day window is that Saturday 19th September morning. It’s not going to be big, but with clean conditions and a bit of offshore wind, it’s the best we’ve got.

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.
