The Lowdown
Alright, let me get my coffee and take a real good look at this. To be honest, things are looking pretty flat and grim for our stretch of coast.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there's just no energy. We’re staring down a long, dry spell. The first few days, from Saturday the 12th through the middle of the week, are all about tiny, weak windswell. The combined energy is barely registering, with the swell height stuck around 2 ft to 4 ft. That might sound like something, but with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds and a stiff cross-onshore wind from the S or SSE blowing at 15 to 19 mph, it’s just a choppy, bumpy mess. Not worth getting wet for.
The only real glimmer in this whole outlook is a brief window on the morning of Thursday the 17th. We get a moment of glassy conditions with the wind swinging around to the ENE at a whisper. But the swell is still tiny at 3 ft and the period is a short 5 seconds. It’s not going to be good, just not as bad as everything else. It’s a desperate pick.
After that, things just get smaller and weaker. Through the second week, into the 20th and beyond, the combined energy drops into single digits at times. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best. There's a spot of clean, offshore wind on the morning of Sunday the 20th from the WNW, but with a 2 ft swell and a 6-second period, you’d be surfing a lake.
I hate to say it, but there isn't a single standout session in this 16-day run. For the breaks around here, a blank run like this is pretty normal. The conditions just aren't cooperating. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 86°, but that’s the only notable thing.
Stick to the longboard or the flat-water paddle. Forecasts can always change, but for now, don't hold your breath.

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.
