The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is a tough one to call. We're looking at a very long stretch of small, messy, and generally uncooperative conditions here at Condos. The water is warm, sitting at about 85°, which is a touch above average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of August, we've got tiny waves, mostly below 3 ft, coming from the SSE with a short, weak period of just 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 11 and 69 (depending on the day), and it's almost always accompanied by a cross-onshore wind. The result is choppy, lumpy, and just poor surf. It's a long, quiet stretch.
There's a very brief window on Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. The swell is still tiny at 3 ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy. That's your only chance for clean, smooth conditions, but it's a real micro-session for the loggers. The combined energy is still weak at 69, so you're not getting any power.
The first hint of something better doesn't show up until Friday morning, the 28th of August. The swell nudges up to 3 ft from the S, with a period that finally gets to 5 seconds, and the combined energy climbs into the moderate range at 117. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it won't be a complete mess. It's still not great, but it's the best we've got in the whole forecast. This is the standout for the whole period, but it's a very low bar.
After that, it's back to the same old story: small, weak, and onshore winds right through the first week of September. The combined energy drops back to single and low double digits, with swells under 2 ft.
The truth is, for a stretch this long with so few consistent options, it's a real blank run for the area. If you're desperate for a paddle, Tuesday the 25th on a longboard in the glass might be your only moment, but for any real waves, we're waiting until Friday the 28th morning for a slight improvement. Even then, keep your expectations in the car.

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.
