The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. I’ve looked at what’s coming our way, and honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a tough stretch. We’re talking about a long, flat spell before anything even thinks about showing up. Let’s break it down.
We start off with a bit of a wait. From Thursday, the 10th of September, right through until around the 22nd, there’s just not much to get excited about. The surf is small, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the conditions are a mess. The few waves we do see, like on the 12th and 13th, are under 4 ft, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-on, making it lumpy and choppy. Not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is weak, barely hitting 100 (97) on the 12th morning, then dropping back down. It’s just a poor run.
Then, there’s a real gap. From the 22nd, the swell drops to almost nothing – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – with no energy. It’s a flat spell that lasts for days.
Now, the first real sign of life shows up on the 25th of September. That Friday morning, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 100, which is moderate. The wind is light from the southeast, so it’s onshore but light. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while. By Friday afternoon, the swell picks up to 4 ft from the east-northeast with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy is a solid 261. That’s a proper moderate swell. The wind is still onshore, but it’s manageable.
The standout here is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and this is the first real pulse of energy. The swell direction is from the east-northeast, which is a good match for the optimum southeast direction listed. It’s not glassy, but the light wind on Friday morning will keep it relatively clean. Keep in mind, the water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, with a 2°F anomaly. That’s a bit warmer than usual for this time of year.
This is definitely a promising setup for the end of the forecast window, but it’s a long way out. The nearer days are a write-off. If you’re keen, pencil in the 25th of September for a look at Condos, but don’t get your hopes up for the rest.

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.
