The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Condos.
Honestly, mate, I’ve gotta call it straight – the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. There’s just no good surf on offer. The wave heights are tiny, barely pushing 3 ft to 3 ft at best, and the period is short, mostly around 5 to 6 seconds. That’s just not going to give you any push or shape. The combined energy stays weak, mainly in the 30s and 40s (moderate wave energy), which is about as exciting as a flat tyre.
The wind is a constant problem, too. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the ESE or SE, which is messy. Even the glassy Saturday morning on the 29th of August couldn’t save it because the swell was only 0.3 ft. There’s a bit of a bump in swell on the 7th and 8th of September, with heights reaching 5 ft to 7 ft, but that’s coupled with onshore wind and the combined energy jumps to 225 and 603 (strong wave energy). It’s still being called “poor surf conditions,” so it’s just going to be a big, blown-out mess.
For a spot that’s “fairly consistent” and a beginner-friendly break, this is a real bummer of a run. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so that’s not adding any sting. But honestly, there’s nothing here worth chasing. If you’re desperate for a wet suit, the setup is so crummy with the wind and small swell that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We’ll have to wait for the forecasts to change.

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.
