The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one.
We’re looking at a 16-day window that basically starts with a whole lot of nothing. The first surf recommendation I can see doesn't come up until the 18th of August, and honestly, it’s not a recommendation anyone would be stoked on. The whole period is a write-off for any decent surf. From the 18th of August all the way through to the 2nd of September, it’s a long, flat, choppy mess.
The only spot on the radar is Condos, and it’s a beginner-friendly zone that’s "fairly consistent". The swell is tiny, running from 2 ft to 3 ft out of the SSE and SE. The period is a short, weak 4 to 5 seconds, and the combined energy of the swell is barely a whisper – it’s mostly in the teens and twenties, peaking at a measly 44 (44) on the 21st. That’s weak energy, no two ways about it.
The wind is the real killer here. For almost the entire run, it’s a cross-onshore breeze from the S and SSE, often picking up to 16 mph, turning the water into a choppy, bumpy mess. There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of the 28th of August when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still only 3 ft with a 5-second period. It’s a tease. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
Honestly, with such poor surf quality, onshore wind, and the break being an exposed beach setup, this whole stretch looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There are no standouts. There’s nothing to get excited about. The good news is that Condos is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the forecasts are bleak.
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.
