The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up, and the swell is weak and short-period. It’s one of those runs where you might be better off finding something else to do.
The only break on the radar is Condos, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting around 83°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell direction is coming from the SE, which is actually the optimum direction for this break, so that part is good. But that’s about where the good news ends.
From Tuesday 14 July right through to Wednesday 29 July, it’s a solid 16-day block of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly 2ft to 5ft, with a short period of just 5 to 7 seconds – that’s weak, choppy, windswell with no real power behind it. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 17 to 171 range, so even the biggest day feels unsubstantial. The wind is a constant cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, blowing 12 to 19 mph, which keeps the surface ragged and lumpy. There’s a few days where the wind is “on” (straight onshore) which is even worse. Crowds are only “sometimes” an issue, but honestly, I doubt many will be out.
There is no standout. Nothing. The best you could hope for is a small, messy wave on the 16th or 17th of July when the swell nudges 4ft to 5ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and short-period. It’s not worth getting excited about. Given the beach setup and the constant onshore wind, this actually looks more like a kite-surfing stretch than a surfing one.
Hang in there, but forecasts can change. For now, it’s a blank run.

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.
