The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. We've got a solid run of poor surf conditions for the entire 16-day window at Condos. The whole period is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with a short, weak period of 4 to 7 seconds, coming from the SSE to ESE. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits on a couple of occasions, and mostly sitting in the low double digits or single digits. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the SE for the vast majority of the time, which just chops everything up. The water temp is around 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the very last day of the forecast. On Thursday, the 27th of August, the morning shows a brief window of offshore wind from the W at just 3 mph. The swell is still only around 2 feet from the SSE, but that clean, glassy wind will be the only time the place looks surfable. The water temp is about normal for the season. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the best we get. The combined energy is a weak 24, so don't expect much push.
Before that, the second week is a total desert. From the 17th of August right through to the 26th, we're looking at tiny, messy waves with almost no energy. The wind is never favorable. Given the weak, short-period swell and constant onshore wind, this setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. For a surfer, it's a blank run. It's a quiet season for this spot, so this kind of run isn't abnormal.
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.
