The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming for the next couple weeks, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a long stretch of flat, messy surf. The wind’s mostly onshore and the swell’s weak and short-period. Don’t go booking the time off work just yet.
The only break on the radar is Condos (Big Island). It’s a fairly consistent, beginner-friendly beach setup, exposed to the SE. Water temps are pretty much normal for the time of year. Right now, on the 9th, we’ve got nothing – 0.4m of swell and a light cross-onshore breeze. Thursday the 10th is the same, 0.5m and poor. It’s not looking good.
Friday the 11th sees the swell inch up to 0.9m from the SSE, but the wind jumps to 15-18 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. The energy is moderate, but it’s wasted. The whole weekend into Monday is a bust – 1.0 to 1.2m of SSE swell, but it’s blowing 15-18 mph onshore, and we’ve got thunderstorms around. The surf’s just a stormy mess. Tuesday the 15th holds around 1.1m, but again, the onshore wind ruins it.
Finally, on Friday the 18th, we get a bit of relief. The wind swings light offshore from the N in the morning, and we get a clean-looking 1.0m wave from the ESE. It’s only a 6-second period, so it’s not powerful, but it’s the first surfable waves we’ve had. This is the best you’ll see. Saturday the 19th morning is similar, 0.9m and clean, but the onshores are back by lunch.
From the 20th onward, the swell fades fast – dropping to 0.4m to 0.8m – and the wind stays messy. The energy drops off a cliff, indicating very weak conditions. There’s a tiny blip on the 24th with 0.7m and a light cross-shore, but it’s not worth the drive.
So, there you have it. The only real window is Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th in the mornings. Small, clean, but nothing special. The rest is a long, flat gap. It won’t stay like this forever, though – forecasts change.
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.
Condos is 26 km (16 miles) from Corpus Christi. If you plan a vacation in Texas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
