Table - best surf conditions forecast for Condos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Condos. It’s the only spot on the table, and honestly, it’s a tough read. The water temperature is sitting around 85°F, which is about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too crazy, just a little warmer than average, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 19th of August, the surf is tiny. We’re looking at a weak, short-period SSE swell that’s barely putting out any energy – the combined energy of all swells directed here is only 15, so it’s really weak. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph, and it’s messy. It’s not good for paddling out. That pattern pretty much holds through the rest of August and into the first days of September. The swell never really gets above 3 ft, and the period stays stuck at 5 seconds, so it’s all windswell with no shape. The wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions” the whole way through.
There is a slight bump on the morning of the 28th of August, when we see a 3 ft swell from the south, with the combined energy just tipping into moderate territory at 110. But the wind is a cross-shore 12 mph, and the comment is still “poor surf conditions.” That’s about as good as it gets, and it’s still not worth a paddle.
Through the first week of September, nothing changes. The swell stays small, period short, and the wind keeps blowing onshore. The energy readings are all in the teens and twenties – weak stuff. The best we can say is that on the morning of the 3rd of September, the wind drops to a light onshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph, but the swell is only 2 ft with a 5-second period, so it’s flat and choppy.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no standout session. The surf is consistently small, short-period, and wind-affected. The setup at Condos is a beach break, and with the wind and weak swell, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. If you’re a beginner, the tiny size might be okay, but the wind and chop will make it frustrating. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely, but as it stands, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
