The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the outlook for Condos over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The water is sitting at 85°F which is pretty normal for this time of year.
We start off on Monday the 31st of August with a tiny 2ft from the southeast, but it's blown out by a cross-onshore breeze. The wave energy is weak (17). That sets the tone for the whole first week. Through to the end of the first week, the swell barely nudges 3ft, and it's constantly getting chopped up by onshore and cross-onshore winds. There's no real stand-out day in that first week.
Then we hit a bit of a gap. The conditions are still poor, but on Monday the 7th of September and Tuesday the 8th, we get some glassy mornings. Unfortunately, the swell is still a pathetic 2ft to 2ft from the southeast with a short period, so even with clean conditions, there's just nothing to ride. The energy is still weak (18 and 13).
The second week doesn't bring much hope. The surf stays small, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with the wind still a problem. By the 11th and 12th of September, we see the swell bump up to 3ft from the SSE, but it's still a messy, cross-onshore affair. The combined energy is still weak (56). The best possible window is on the 13th of September when the swell hits 3ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds, but even then it's cross-onshore. The energy is just moderate (67) at best.
Honestly, there's not a single good surf option in this 16-day window. The swell is too small, the wind is consistently bad, and there's just no quality on offer. The whole run is a write-off, which can happen here. For now, it's looking more like a kite-surfing setup if the wind stays up, rather than a paddle-surfing one. Keep the board in the car and hope the forecasts change.
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.
