The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for Condos. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run is a tough one. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead where the surf just isn’t cooperating, and it’s gonna be a real test of patience.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at nothing but poor surf conditions for days on end. From Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, all the way through to the morning of Wednesday, September 23rd, there’s really nothing to get excited about. That’s a solid two-week gap where the swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy is weak. We’re seeing swell heights barely scraping 4 ft, but with short, weak periods around 4 to 6 seconds and combined swell energy barely cracking 90 (moderate wave energy at best). Most days, that wind is cross-on or onshore, chopping everything up. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Now, there is one glimmer of hope, but it’s a long way off. The real standout here comes on Thursday, September 24th, in the morning. We finally get a pulse of swell out of the ESE at 4 ft with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 257 (moderate wave energy). And here’s the kicker – we get clean, cross-offshore winds out of the north at 15 mph. That’s the kind of wind that puts a smile on your face because it’ll hold the wave face open. That Thursday morning is the one true highlight of the entire outlook. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean, and after two weeks of nothing, it’ll feel like a gift. The swell direction (ESE) is a decent match for the optimum SE direction the spot likes.
For the rest of that final week, there are a few other days with clean winds like Wednesday, September 23rd morning, but the swell is a bit smaller and the energy is weaker (90). The Thursday morning is the one to circle.
Water temps are sitting at a balmy 86°F, running about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a touch warmer than usual, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
This is a patient man’s game. Mark your calendar for Thursday, September 24th, and hope the long-range forecast holds. It’s promising but not locked in yet.

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.
Condos is 26 km (16 miles) from Corpus Christi. If you plan a vacation in Texas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
