The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the full 16-day picture for Condos.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead before anything even thinks about showing up. You’re looking at a solid gap from now until around the 7th of September where the surf is just plain poor. The swell is tiny, maxing out around 2 ft, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore almost the whole time, keeping things choppy and messy. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The water temperature at Condos is sitting at 85°, which is about 1° above normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch warmer than average.
Now, if you’re patient, there’s a glimmer of hope in the second week. Around Monday the 7th of September, we start to see a pulse of energy. By Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell picks up to 5 ft from the SE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 273 – that’s moderate energy starting to build. The wind is still a fresh cross-on breeze at 19 mph, so it’s not going to be glassy, but there’s finally some size. Wednesday the 9th of September looks like the best of a tricky bunch, with the swell reaching 6 ft to 6 ft from the SE, and the energy jumping to 571, which is strong. The period stretches to 8 seconds, but that wind is still a fresh cross-on.
This is a bit of a raw, lumpy setup for a place like Condos, which is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that likes swell from the SE. The wind is the main issue here. For a beginner, that 5 ft to 6 ft swell is getting on the bigger side, and with the wind on it, it’s going to be a handful. More experienced surfers might find some fun, but it won’t be clean. Honestly, with that consistent cross-on wind and building swell, this setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
So, the call is: hold tight for the first week, then keep an eye on the tail end of the forecast. It’s promising, but far from perfect.
Rusty.

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.
