The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – Condos is looking like a total write-off for the next 16 days. I’ve combed through the charts, and there’s just nothing on offer for us paddle surfers. The whole period is a flat, wind-affected mess.
The first record we have is for Monday the 17th of August, and it’s a dead loss. From there, right through to the end of the month and into the first of September, the pattern doesn’t change. Sure, there’s a tiny bit of swell energy – never more than a weak 88 (combined energy of all swells directed here) – but it’s all short-period, weak slop under 3 ft, mostly from the SSE or SE. The wind is a constant problem. It’s mostly cross-onshore, often fresh and lumpy, which just chops up that tiny energy into nothing. You’ll see a few moments of glassy conditions on the 28th and 30th of August, and again on the 31st, but even then, the swell is so small and weak it’s not worth the wetsuit peel.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, with waves this poor, it doesn’t matter. There’s a gap of several days with no recommendations at all. This is just one of those blank runs for the area. If you’ve got a kite, the persistent cross-onshore wind and small, choppy conditions might be more your speed, but for a surfboard, leave it at home.
This is Rusty, signing off. It’s a hard no from me.

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.
