Excess water coming from the exhaust of an 02 Opel Astra?

What does it mean when excess water is coming from the exhaust of an 02 Opel Astra?

Depends when. At the start of the day on a cold morning it will just be condensation water. If it happens after 100 miles of motorway then it's head gasket.
