Condos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, g’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming. I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough run for Condos. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing much happening. The forecast kicks off on Monday, 6th July, with tiny, weak swell and cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your bits off while you’re not catching waves.

The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, in the 20-50 range for the first week, and it barely climbs into the low hundreds later on. The swell stays below 3.9 ft for the whole period, with a short period of 4 to 7 seconds – that’s just wind slop, not groundswell. The wind is almost always cross-on from the south or southeast, keeping everything choppy and messy. Honestly, the conditions are rated poor across the board, with scores of 0 out of 10 right through.

There is one small glimmer. On Wednesday morning, 15th July, we see a shift. The wind goes light from the west at 3 mph, making it clean. The swell is 3.3 ft from the southeast with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is 98. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. For a beginner, on a fairly consistent break like this, that might be your best shot. But it’s nothing to get excited about. The rest of the run is just cross-onshore chop and very ordinary conditions. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent wind and small waves might look more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long wait.

There is no standout here. The best I can say is that Wednesday morning, 15th July, offers the cleanest conditions, but the swell is weak. The crowds are sometimes around, so it might be quiet. But honestly, mate, I’d be looking elsewhere.
