The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Condos has cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating stretch for us. We’ve got a 16-day window, but don’t get your hopes up too early. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t kick in until Monday the 24th of August, so that’s nearly a full week of waiting with nothing worth paddling out for. Even then, it’s not exactly pumping.

The water temp is sitting at 84°F on the Tuesday morning, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

For the first few days from the 18th through to the 23rd, it’s all tiny, weak swell with poor, choppy conditions. Cross-onshore winds are the main culprit – just messy and frustrating. The energy is low, with combined swell energy values sitting between 20 and 31 (weak). You’re looking at surf around 2ft to 3ft, periods of 4 to 5 seconds. That’s windswell junk, not worth your time.

The first real window where things clean up is Monday the 24th of August in the morning. We get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 9 mph, and the wave state is described as clean. Swell is small at 2ft from the SSE with a 5-second period, and the energy is still weak at 22. It’s rideable for a beginner on a foamy, but don’t expect much push. Tuesday the 25th of August morning looks similar, with clean conditions again – light cross-offshore, 3ft SSE swell, energy of 32. Still not worth a special trip, but it’s the best we’ve got so far.

As we get into late August and the very start of September, things remain small but we do see a couple of glassy mornings that are worth a mention for the die-hards. Monday the 31st of August morning, the wind goes glass (3 mph from the SSE), and we have tiny 1.0ft surf, energy at 6. It’s flat, but it’s pretty. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is glassy too, with a risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 2ft SE swell, energy at 10. Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the standout in this whole run – glassy again, 3ft from the SE with a 5-second period, and the energy bumps up to 33. Still weak overall, but for a log or a longboard, that’s your best chance at a clean little wave.

Given the small size and the fact that the swell direction is from the SSE to SE, which does match the guidance optimum swell direction for Condos (SE), the setup itself isn’t wrong – there just isn’t any grunt behind it. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so if you’re out on one of those glassy mornings, you might have a few mates out, but nothing hectic.

Overall, the standout for the whole 16-day run is Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. It’s glassy, the swell is the biggest we’ll see (3ft), and the energy is at its peak for the period. If you’re a beginner or just want a peaceful glide, that’s your moment. Don’t expect any barrels or power – this is mellow, clean, and small.

That’s it from me. Stay patient.

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.
