Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking over the next couple of weeks at Condos. Gotta be straight with ya—it's a pretty grim stretch coming up for paddle surfing. The whole 16-day window is one long run of "poor surf conditions" with scores bottoming out at zero across the board. That means nothing is worth recommending. Not one single session.
The first record shows Friday, July 3rd, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the southeast wrapping in at a short, weak 4-second period. The combined energy is a feeble 13, that's weak. And the wind's blowing onshore at 12 mph, so it's messy. Honestly, that sets the tone. Through the weekend and into the following week, we're stuck with the same story: small, weak windswell in the 2 ft to 3 ft range, short periods of 4 to 6 seconds, and those cross-on or onshore south to southeast winds hanging around at 9 to 16 mph. The water's warm though—about 83°F with a water temperature anomaly of just +0.4°F, so right around average for the time of year. But that's the only highlight.
We do see a little spike in energy around Monday, July 13th, with swell heights hitting 4 ft and the combined energy climbing to a moderate 152. But even then, the period is still only 7 to 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on at 12 to 16 mph. It's still tagged as poor surf, so don't get your hopes up. The same goes for Friday, July 17th morning—4 ft with the energy around 112, but again, cross-on wind and a poor call.
All the surf is at Condos (Big Island), an exposed spot that's fairly consistent and works best with swell from the southeast. But with the constant onshore/cross-on winds and the short-period, weak swells, it's just not coming together for a proper surf. For beginners, the swell never gets big enough to worry about, but the quality is the real issue here—it's not gonna be any fun. The setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the wind and small chop, but for us wave riders, it's a blank run. That's not totally unusual for the area when the wind pattern locks in like this.
Hang in there—forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to paddle out for.

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.
