The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, we are looking at a pretty flat and messy run for the most part. The swell energy is weak, and the wind is mostly going to be blowing the wrong way, putting a chop on things. It’s not a time to be getting overly excited.
We kick things off with a look at Condos. Water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year. The combo of tiny swell and onshore wind just isn't making for anything ridable. Through the 6th and 7th, we've got a cross-on breeze and waves around 3ft on a short 5-second period. The energy is negligible, sitting around 38. It's just bumpy and weak.
The first week stays pretty bleak. The swell remains in that 2ft to 3ft range, with periods never getting past 6 seconds. The wind stays cross-on or on, and the energy readings stay down in the weak range, mostly in the teens, 30s, and 40s. The morning of the 8th will have a light breeze, but the swell is only 2ft, so there’s just nothing to work with. It’s a real skunk.
As we move into the second week, things pick up just a touch in size, but not in quality. From the 13th through the 17th, we see the swell nudge up to around 4ft, and the period stretches to 6 seconds, maybe 7 seconds on the 15th. The energy starts to climb into the moderate range, like on the 15th afternoon when it hits 116. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is still cross-on from the SSE/SE, and the conditions are choppy and lumpy. It's not going to be clean. This is a beach setup, and with that onshore wind, it's going to be more of a mess than anything else. If you're into kiting, this might look more interesting than surfing.
The wind does ease at times, like the morning of the 19th, but the swell is backing down again to 3ft. There’s a gap of a few days there where it’s looking properly flat and poor. The 20th and 21st are back to tiny, short-period dribble.
The honest truth is, there’s no standout day in this entire window. There's no day where the swell, wind, and period all line up. The most promising period is around the 15th, when the swell has a bit more push, but the wind will wreck it. It’s just a long stretch of poor surf. It happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, I wouldn't be waxing up too many boards.

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.
