The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Look, I’ve got to be honest with you. The next 16 days are a real struggle around here. The only spot with any kind of recommendation is Condos, but even that’s a tough sell. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of weak, short-period windswell and persistent cross-onshore winds. There’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing.
The first real chance of a wave won’t show up until Thursday, August 6th. The whole week before that is just a write-off. From Sunday, July 26th right through to Wednesday, August 5th, the surf is tiny and sloppy. The swell is barely 2ft to 4ft, with a pitiful period of only 5 seconds, all coming from the SSE or SE. The wind never lets up – it’s cross-on all day, every day, turning the surface into a choppy, lumpy mess. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 27 and 69 (weak energy), so there’s just no power in the water. It’s not worth paddling out for that.
Finally, on Thursday morning, August 6th, we see a tiny bump. The swell pushes up to 4ft from the SE, with the period climbing to 6 seconds. The wind is still cross-on, but it’s a light breeze at 6 mph, so the surface is a bit cleaner than we’ve seen. The combined energy creeps up to 96 (still weak). That afternoon, it actually gets a little better – the swell holds at 4ft, the period stretches to 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 111 (moderate wave energy). It’s still choppy, but for the first time in a week, there’s a hint of a pulse. Friday morning, August 7th, is similar: 4ft SE swell, 6-second period, light cross-on breeze, and combined energy at 100 (moderate). It’s the best we’ll see, but “best” is a relative term here.
Water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least the water is nice.
Overall, this is a grim run. The consistent cross-onshore winds and weak, short-period swell mean the waves are just messy and gutless. The one brief window on Thursday, August 6th and Friday, August 7th offers the only glimmer of a wave, but it’s still not a standout. The shape will be poor, and the occasional shoulder-high set won’t make up for the chop. Condos is a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re just learning and want to get wet, you could mess around, but don’t expect anything clean.
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.
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.
