Right, mate, Rusty here. I’ve had a look at the charts for the coming weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s no good surf on the menu for this stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, so let’s get into why.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is Condos, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach setup that ideally likes swell from the SE. Problem is, the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, blowing from the SSE or SE, and it’s rarely light. That means the surface is chopped up and messy. The swell is small, staying mostly between 2ft and 5ft, and it’s all short-period windswell at 5 to 7 seconds, so there’s no power or shape to it. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak for most of the first week, with values like 53, 60, and 85, though it does climb into moderate territory around the 15th and 16th of July, hitting 112 and 218. Still, with the wind ruining it, it’s all poor surf conditions.
The water temperature at Condos is 84°F, which is about normal for the time of year here. No real standout days, no clean windows. The closest we get to a bigger pulse is on the 26th and 27th of July, with swell around 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and ugly. Honestly, if the wind stays this way, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. With the weather pattern being stubborn, this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
