The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest – the outlook for our local zone is a dud. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and the surf is just not showing up. There’s a real dry spell, with hardly anything worth paddling out for.
Let’s start with Condos. This spot is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the swell. The water temperature is about 85°, which is normal for the time of year. But the problem is the swell. For the next few days, we’re seeing tiny waves – nothing above 3 ft – and the period is short, often around 5 seconds, meaning weak, crumbly energy. The combined energy is weak, staying in the low double digits for most of the first week. The wind is a real killer too, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
Even Saturday morning, August 29th, starts with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1 ft with a 4-second period. It’s flat, flat, flat. The pattern continues day after day: small, weak swell with poor wind. There’s a slight uptick in combined energy around September 5th and 6th, but the swell height is still only around 3 ft to 3 ft and the wind is again cross-onshore or cross, making it lumpy. The conditions are just poor for paddle surfing.
Late in the window, around September 10th and 11th, the energy picks up a bit more, but the swell is still under 3 ft and the period is short. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore. It’s the same story: frustratingly small, poor quality surf.
Given the persistent small swell, onshore winds, and the beach setup, this outlook is more interesting for the kite surfers looking for some wind than for us paddle surfers chasing a wave. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, it’s a solid no-go.
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.
