The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here, giving you the honest rundown for Condos. Let's be straight with each other - this stretch isn't looking like one for the memory books. We've got a long, quiet spell ahead.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, the first real surf we see is tiny and weak. We're talking a long gap of slop before anything even remotely rideable shows up. Mostly small, short-period windswell from the SE, with the wind doing us no favours at all.
For the first week and a half, it's a write-off. From Monday the 14th right through to the 24th of September, the swell is mostly under 3 ft and the wind is cross-on, onshore, or just messy. The combined energy is weak, often below 100, sometimes as low as 13 - that's barely a ripple in the bathtub. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86 °F, but that's no comfort when the waves are this ordinary.
The one true standout in this whole forecast is Thursday morning, the 24th of September at Condos. Sure, it's a way off, so treat it as promising but not locked in. We finally get a puff of NW wind, which will blow offshore, cleaning things up nicely. The swell jumps to a brief 3 ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 94 – the most we'll see all run. It's a beginner-friendly wave and it's fairly consistent, but with a light breeze and clean lines, it’s the best we've got. Just a heads up, crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect some company if the forecast holds.
After that 24th, we're back into the doldrums. The 25th has a moment with a light cross-off and a bit of energy (63), but by the 26th and 27th the swell drops back to 2 ft or less. The 28th has a clean look from the N, but the swell is tiny. We finish up on the 29th with risk of thunderstorms and more onshore junk.
That's the lot. A long, dry spell broken by one glimmer of hope way out there.

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.
