The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up at Condos.
First off, the water temp is sitting at about 84°F which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, I gotta call it like I see it – this whole 16-day stretch is a flat spell. From now right through to the end of the month, the surf just isn't there. We've got swell heights barely scraping past 3ft, and most of the time they're kicking around 2ft to 3ft. The period on every single one of these swells is short and weak, between 4 and 6 seconds, which means no push and no shape. The combined energy readings are all in the doldrums, between 14 and 78, so there's nothing to get excited about.
The wind doesn't help either. It's cross-on or onshore from the SE or SSE every single day, sometimes gusting up to 19 mph. That's going to chop up whatever tiny dribble there is. Every single forecast slot is rated as poor surf conditions. There's no standout here, no hidden gem, no morning window that magically works. It's a total write-off.
This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this spot when conditions line up like this – it’s just one of those times where you’re better off leaving the boards in the car. Don't lose hope though; forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
For now, if you’re desperate for water time, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay tuned, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
