The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer in the local region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim run. The finder is showing zero good surf options across the entire 16-day window. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope, but it doesn’t mean it’s permanent. Forecasts can change, so don’t bin the boards just yet.
The only spot in the guidance is Condos, a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to swell and works best with wind from the SE. But the timing is just awful. From Wednesday the 19th of August right through to Thursday the 3rd of September, every single session is poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny – never cracking 3 ft – and the period is short, between 4 and 7 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell junk. The combined energy of all swells directed here is barely registering, maxing out at a weak 41 (22-41 range). It’s not even worth paddling out for.
The wind is the real killer. It’s cross-on or onshore from the south or southeast almost every day, with speeds mostly 9 to 19 mph, which means choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. There is a brief moment on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August when the wind goes light and cross-shore – a slight air, with small crossing wind ripples – but the swell is still only 2 ft and short period. It’s the least bad of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout by any stretch.
For a beginner, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so it’s not too big, but the chop and onshore wind make it a real struggle. There’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 27th is your best bet for a clean-ish surface, but don’t expect much. Overall, this is a kite-surfing window, not a paddle-surfing one.
Stay tuned, things can turn.

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.
