The Lowdown
Well, folks, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninviting around here. I’ve scanned the charts, and there’s just nothing that’s going to get the heart rate up. It’s a real bummer, but it happens.
We’re looking at a long stretch of small, short-period, wind-affected swell. For the first week and a half, the surf is basically a write-off. The energy is weak, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, which is going to chop up whatever tiny bumps do show up. The swell direction is mostly from the SSE, which is not the ideal SE for the spot, and the periods are stuck around 5-6 seconds, meaning it’s just junky, local windswell.
The first real sniff of anything more than a ripple doesn’t even show up until the 14th of August. There’s a slight bump in energy that morning, with the combined energy reading hitting 148, which is still only in the moderate range. The swell height nudges up to 4ft, but the period is still just 6 seconds and the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s going to be messy, and honestly, not worth the paddle. That’s a solid 10-day gap of nothing worth getting wet for.
The rest of the window just fades away again. The swell drops back down, the wind stays up, and the whole thing looks like a write-off. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold if you do go for a paddle.
To be honest, if you’re desperate for a wave, you’d be better off looking at a kite or a foil. The conditions are just not set up for a decent paddle surf. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally unusual. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d be finding something else to do for the next two weeks.

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.
