The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the straight story for the next couple of weeks. It’s a real mixed bag, so let’s break it down.
First off, the overall pattern is pretty grim for us. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The energy is just not there. There’s a solid two-week gap of poor conditions before we see anything worth getting excited about.
Kicking things off on Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, it’s flat and choppy. The swell is only 2ft from the southeast with a weak 32 energy reading, and a moderate cross-onshore breeze is chopping it all up. The water temp is 83°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. Not looking good. This pattern of small, weak swell and crummy wind sticks with us for days.
The following week is much of the same. From the 5th through the 18th, we are looking at tiny 2ft to 4ft waves, with that energy staying in the low to mid double digits. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it lumpy and messy. There’s a tiny bump on Friday morning.
The one bright spot in this whole window comes on Tuesday, August 19th. We finally get a little pulse. The morning looks best with a 3ft swell from the southeast, and a light cross-shore wind from the southwest. It’s still not big, and the period is short at 5 seconds, so the wave quality won’t be epic, but it's the cleanest we are going to get. This could be a fun little session if you are frothing and don’t mind some small waves. It’s still a far cry from good, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Honestly, if you’ve got other things to do this week, do them. It’s going to be flat and messy. The small swell and persistent wind make it a kite surfer’s paradise, not a paddle surfer’s. Keep the faith though, the forecasts can change.
Rusty, out.

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.
