The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a grim outlook for Condos. The next sixteen days are pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions, with swell that’s barely flickering to life. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which feels pretty average for this time of year.
Starting Sunday the 16th and running all the way through to Monday the 1st of September, there’s not a single window I’d recommend paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly hovering around 1.0ft to 3ft, and it’s coming from the SSE and SE with periods under 8 seconds—short-period, weak stuff that won’t hold up. The combined energy is low, ranging from weak (56) down to almost nothing (6) by the end, so there’s just no power behind it.
On top of that, the wind is a real problem. It’s consistently cross-onshore or directly onshore from the SSE and SE, with speeds picking up to 19 mph at times. That’s going to chop everything up and make it messy. There’s very little chance of a clean wave.
If you’re desperate, the best of a bad bunch might be the mornings around Saturday the 23rd and Thursday the 28th, when the wind drops to a light breeze and swings cross-shore, but with swell barely reaching 2ft and the period stuck at 4-5 seconds, it’s just not worth getting excited about.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, the surf is so small and wind-affected that the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, and in this area, that’s pretty normal when the conditions line up this way.

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.
