The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Condos in the units you might be used to.
This is a grim 16-day outlook. From Monday, August 17th right through to the end, it’s a desert. Every single session in the data comes back as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny—between about 1 ft and 4 ft—with short, weak periods of 4 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell junk, not proper groundswell. The wave energy is low, maxing out at 87 (in those weird energy units they use). And the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, which just churns it up.
The only real standout is on the morning of Thursday, August 27th. The wind flips offshore, light from the west at about 6 mph, making the water glassy. The swell hits about 3 ft from the SSE, still a short 5-second period, but the combined energy gets up to 68—the best we see. It’s surfable, but barely. Water temp is about 84°F, which is pretty normal for the season.
Condos can get *sometimes* crowded when it’s working, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so you might see a few others if you’re silly enough to paddle out on the 27th. But honestly? Most of this run is better suited for a kite surfer than a paddler. You’re looking at a week-plus of nothing worthwhile. Forecasts can turn, but based on what’s in front of me, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
