The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the cards for Condos over this 16-day run.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a quiet spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and breezy conditions that aren't doing us any favours. From Tuesday the 25th of August right through to the start of September, it’s mostly knee-high dribble from the SSE with periods around 4-5 seconds. The combined energy is barely ticking over, in the teens and twenties for most of that time (13-40). The winds are pretty much always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little push there is. You’d be fighting for a knee-high crumble, and that’s being generous. It's not looking good for a paddle at all, honestly. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temp at Condos is sitting about 85°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so at least the wait will be warm if you’re just floating around.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday the 7th of September. We finally see the swell tick up a notch. On the Monday morning, we’re looking at a 3ft SSE swell, and by Tuesday the 8th of September morning, it’s pushing 4ft from the SSE. The period stays short at 5-6 seconds, and the energy climbs into the 80s (83). But here’s the kicker: the wind is a consistent cross-onshore from the SSE. That’s going to keep things pretty choppy and messy. It’ll be a step up from the flat spell, but still not a *good* wave.
Now, the standout in this whole outlook – and I mean the *only* standout – is Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SE early, with a period stretching to 7 seconds. That gives us a combined energy of 321 – finally, some proper power in the water. By the afternoon, she's dropping slightly to 5ft but the energy is even stronger at 567. That is moderate to strong wave energy, and it’ll be the best surf of the entire period. However, the wind on Wednesday is still onshore from the SE, so while the swell size is there, the quality is going to be compromised. It will be big for Condos, and at 6ft it’s getting into expert territory, especially with a short period and onshore wind making it dumpy. This is for experienced surfers only.
To be clear, everything else is a write-off. From Tuesday the 25th to Sunday the 6th of September, there are no recommendations. Just wait for that pulse on the 9th, keep your fingers crossed for a shift in the wind, and if it cleans up, it could be a fun, if lumpy, session.
Stay patient.
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.
