The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no decent surf in sight for most of the 16-day window. The conditions are just not playing ball. The first solid recommendation doesn't pop up until the very tail end of the period.
For the vast majority of the time, from the start of August right through to the 22nd, it’s a write-off for paddling. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell from the SE, with periods around 5 to 7 seconds (short period, windswell) and combined energy levels mostly in the double digits (weak energy). The wind is a persistent problem too – almost always a cross-onshore breeze, from SSE or SE, ranging from 9 to 22 mph. This is keeping the surf choppy and messy. Even the few times the wind is “on” or “glass”, the swell is still too small and weak to do anything with. The water temp is a warm 84°F, about average for the time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
There is a big gap of nearly two weeks where you’d be better off doing something else. The setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of those days with the consistent cross-onshore winds and choppy sea state.
The Only Glimmer of Hope
Mark your calendars for the morning of Friday, 21st August. That’s our one standout window. The forecast shows a tiny 2ft swell from the SE at 6 seconds, with combined energy of just 29 (weak), but the magic is in the wind. We’re expecting a glassy, 3 mph wind from the SW. That’s as clean as it gets. This is purely for the purist – a longboard or a foamie, maybe a mid-length. The water will be like glass, which is a major positive. The size is tiny, but those conditions will make it surfable and fun. It’s the only true standout on offer.
There’s nothing else after that that’s worth getting excited about. The rest of the 16-day run is the same story: small, weak, and windy.
So, in short, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath. The 21st of August morning is your one shot.
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.
