The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this isn’t the kind of forecast that gets you out of bed early. We’ve got a 16-day window, but it’s a long, flat stretch for the first several days. The first real chance of a wave doesn't come until Saturday the 22nd, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The pattern is pretty grim. Tiny, weak swell from the SSE and SE, with periods of only 4 to 5 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 30s and 40s (weak energy), and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
Let’s talk about Condos. This is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot. The swell direction is from the SSE/SE, while the optimum direction here is SE, so it’s a decent match. But the size is tiny – we’re looking at 1ft to 3ft through the whole period. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The wind is the main problem. It’s never good. Saturday morning the 22nd sees a light 6 mph breeze from the S, but it’s cross-shore, so the surf is poor. The afternoon picks up to 12 mph from the SE, turning cross-onshore and choppy. This same story repeats day after day. On Thursday the 3rd of September, we get a rare moment of glassy conditions in the morning with a light SSW breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft and the period is a weak 4 seconds. The waves just don’t have any push.
There is no standout day. The best you could hope for is one of those mornings, maybe the 22nd or the 27th, when the wind is lightest, but the wave quality is still “poor.” The swell is too small to make anything of it. For a beginner, the tiny size is safe, but the conditions are not fun. For anyone else, this is a skip.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The wind is consistent and the waves are small and weak. It’s a blank run – a long stretch of small, choppy, and unexciting surf. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about.
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.
