The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you straight. It’s a bit of a flat spell on the horizon for Condos. I’ve scanned the next sixteen days, and honestly, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a real drought of surfable waves here.
The whole run is pretty much a write-off. We're talking small, short-period swell, mostly around 1.5ft to 3ft, with periods stuck at 4 to 5 seconds. That's just wind chop, not real surf. And to make matters worse, the wind is nearly always blowing cross-on or onshore, chopping up what little texture there is. The combined energy is weak too, just two-digit numbers like 24 or 38, barely a pulse. There’s no punch to anything.
For the first few days, from Thursday, August 20th through the weekend, it’s the same story. Thursday morning has some clouds with a cross-on breeze at 15 mph, and the water’s warm at 85.3°, which is about normal for this time of year. But the waves are just poor – not worth paddling out for. Friday and Saturday follow suit. Saturday morning has a lighter breeze at 6 mph, but the swell is still tiny and messy. It’s all just a grovel at best, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with that constant cross-onshore wind and weak swell.
We’ll see a bit of an energy bump toward the end of August. The combined energy gets into the 40s and 50s, peaking at 62 on Sunday afternoon, August 30th. But even then, the swell height stays stuck around 2.5ft and the period is still a junky 5 seconds. It's a little more push but no real shape. The wind is still on it, so forget about clean conditions.
Going into September, it’s more of the same. The first couple of days of the month have a fresh breeze up to 19 mph and even a risk of thunderstorms. That’s not surf, that’s just a messy, lumpy ocean. By September 3rd and 4th, the swell drops right back down again, bottoming out at 1.5ft with energy down to single digits. It’s completely flat.
Condos is fairly consistent, but this looks like one of those blank runs that just happens. The water’s warm, the air’s clear, but there’s just no wave. We’d need a serious change in the weather pattern to get anything going. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s simply nothing on offer.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s a waiting game.

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.
