The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve scanned the charts for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, so temper your expectations.
Right now, the only break on the radar is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but we’re in for a bit of a wait. The first real chance of a paddle is Friday morning, August 7th. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 26. The wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, which makes for fairly choppy, poor surf conditions. Not exactly a day to be stoked about.
The pattern continues with very small, weak swell through the weekend and into the start of the following week. A few days – like Saturday morning, August 8th – offer a moment of glassy conditions with the wind dropping to 3 mph, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft with no energy (18). It’s flat, but it would be clean. You’d be fighting for nothing.
The energy slowly builds from the 12th of August onward, with the swell climbing to around 3 ft to 4 ft by the 18th and 19th, and the combined energy finally hitting three digits (119 to 130). But every single one of these days is plagued by cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SSE, at 12 to 22 mph, making it fresh, lumpy, and choppy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is a small mercy.
To be honest, there isn’t a single standout day in the whole 16-day window. The conditions are never good enough to recommend a specific session. The wind is a constant problem, and the swell, while it does grow, never gets a clean wind window to go with it. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not surprising. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now, with that consistent cross-onshore breeze and building swell.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a write-off.

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.
