The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me be straight with you – if you're looking to paddle out at Condos over the next couple of weeks, you're gonna be disappointed. This stretch from August 8th right through to August 23rd is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf.
The swell is tiny, barely pushing 2 ft to 3 ft for most of the run, and what little energy there is comes straight from the SE. The problem is the wind. Almost every morning and afternoon we've got cross-onshore or onshore breeze, light to fresh, just chopping up whatever small ripple there is. The water temp is a warm 84°F with no real anomaly, so it's about average for this time of year, but that's about the only positive.
The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for the first week – we're talking values like 18, 27, 16 – all well under 100, which is weak energy. There's a brief bump around the morning of August 13th where the energy climbs to 105, still weak to moderate, but the swell height is only 4 ft with a short period of 6 seconds and fresh cross-onshore wind. That's not going to clean up into anything rideable.
Even when we get into the second week, from August 16th onward, it's more of the same. The afternoon of August 16th shows a jump in combined energy to 122, but again, it's only 3 ft of swell with a 7-second period and onshore wind. Not worth the drive.
Forget about a standout session here. There isn't one. The whole 16-day window is a gap with no real recommendations. The surf quality is consistently poor, and the wind is never your friend. If you're a beginner, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so it's not too big, but the chop and crummy conditions will make it a frustrating paddle. Honestly, with this constant cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep your board in the car and wait for the forecasts to change. It tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
