The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a bit of a grim run for Condos right now.
We’re looking at a stretch where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. For the next week and a half, through to Monday the 28th of September, it’s all tiny, weak, and onshore slop. The combined energy stays well under 100 (mostly below 70) all that time, so you’re looking at little 1ft to 3ft waves with short periods of 4 to 7 seconds and cross-onshore or onshore winds messing it all up. The water is sitting at about 86°F which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, but it doesn’t matter much when there’s no surf to enjoy. It’s going to be a long, quiet spell with nothing to recommend until we finally see some change.
Now, if you’re patient, there is a glimmer late in the forecast. The first real event pops up on Monday afternoon the 28th of September. We see a pulse of swell push through from the E at 3ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 128 (moderate wave energy), which is the first sign of life in weeks. The wind is cross-onshore from the E at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but there’s enough energy to make it interesting for the more determined surfers.
The standout window, though, looks to be Tuesday the 29th of September. By Tuesday morning, the swell from the E is still 3ft at 8 seconds, but the combined energy is up to 153. The wind goes cross-shore from the NE at 12 mph, which is a lot better for shape. Then Tuesday afternoon is the pick: the swell bumps up to 4ft from the E with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 338 – that’s strong wave energy for this spot. It’s still cross-onshore from the E at 16 mph, so don't expect glass, but the size and power will be there. This one is best for intermediate to experienced surfers; at 4ft, it’s not a beginner wave. This is the only true standout in the whole 16-day window, but it’s over a week away, so treat that as a promising but less certain prospect.
Wednesday the 30th of September sees that energy drop back down to 127 and 121 with strong cross-shore winds (25-34 mph) from the NNE, making it messy and mostly blown out. Not worth the drive.
So the short version: you’ve got a massive dry spell until the 28th, then a couple of days where Condos might actually have some push. The Tuesday afternoon session on the 29th is your best bet, but don't get your hopes up too high until we get closer.
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.
