The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window starting now, and honestly, there’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The first record we get is for Condos, and it’s a full 16 days of poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 84°F with a +0.9°F anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The whole run is a blank. From August 15th right through to August 30th, every single session is marked as poor surf. That’s a solid two weeks with no real recommendations. The swell is tiny, mostly 2ft to 4ft, coming from the SE or SSE, but the period is short and weak – only 4 to 6 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. The combined energy numbers tell the story: mostly in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, with the highest being a measly 77 (weak energy). That’s not enough to get excited about.
On top of that, the wind is almost always cross-onshore, with speeds ranging from 9 mph up to 22 mph, which makes everything choppy and lumpy. There’s a couple of moments with lighter breezes, like the morning of August 28th, but the swell is still just 3ft with a 6-second period and light cross-onshore wind – it’s not enough to clean it up. The break is a beginner spot, fairly consistent, but with this combo it’s not going to be fun for anyone. The exposure is to the SE, and the optimum swell direction is SE, so the direction is right, but the size and wind kill it.
Look, this is one of those periods where the surf just doesn’t show. For a spot like Condos, it’s a bit of a bummer, but blank runs like this happen. The forecasts can change, but for now, if you’re aching to get wet, you might be better off waiting or checking if the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because the onshore wind and small chop are at least consistent.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky. Later, 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.
