The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’ll walk you through the next 16 days for the Condos region. Straight up: we’ve got one break on the radar—Condos. The overall vibe? Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The swell is small, the wind is pretty much always from the wrong side or cross-onshore, and that’s spelling trouble for clean waves. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Starting from Wednesday, August 5, there’s surf on offer at Condos, but I’m not getting excited. Swell heights are only around 3 ft to 3 ft, coming from the SSE or SE, with a short period of just 5 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak, reading in the 30s and 40s. Thursday and Friday are more of the same—tiny, weak, and messy. Saturday the 8th drops even smaller with 2 ft to 2 ft swells. Honestly, this whole first week is a washout for decent surfing. The conditions are poor across the board.
There’s a bit of a lift around Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, with swell heights hitting 4 ft and the period stretching to 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to the mid-90s, so there’s a bit more push, but the wind is still cross-onshore and strengthening, with speeds peaking at 19 mph. That’s going to make it lumpy and messy. Still, for beginners, this might be manageable, because the swell isn’t too big (under 5 ft). But the quality just isn’t there for a standout session.
Later in the second week, around Saturday the 15th afternoon, we get a slight spike in combined energy to 102 (moderate), but the swell is only 3 ft from the SE with a 7-second period. Again, the wind is cross-onshore. The pattern continues right through to the end of the forecast period, with tiny swells, short periods, and persistent onshore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing here is worth paddling out for if you’re looking for clean, lined-up waves. The crowds at Condos are listed as “sometimes,” so you won’t be fighting for scraps, but that’s because the surf is poor.
If you’re a kite surfer, the setups with moderate onshore wind and small swell could be more interesting than paddle surfing. But for us wave riders, this stretch is a cold one. It’s not normal for the area to have such a blank run, but here we are. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s no standout period. I’d keep an eye on the charts for a better window.

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.
