The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for Condos.
Honestly, I’m looking at this 16-day run and it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty much a flat line of messy, onshore wind conditions. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting in the double digits (72, 58, 65) and only occasionally tickling the low triple digits (102, 109, 171), but even those aren't enough to clean anything up. The wind is the main problem here – it’s coming from the SSE and SE, blowing cross-on or onshore almost the entire time, which is going to chop everything up.
We kick off on Tuesday, 14th July, with a weak 3ft swell from the SE at a short period of 6 seconds. The water is a warm 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But the wind is a moderate cross-on breeze, and the models are calling it "poor surf conditions." That’s the theme for the next week. The swell bumps up a little towards the 17th and 18th, hitting 5ft on Friday morning with a combined energy of 171, but it's still cross-on and lumpy. This is a beach break setup, and with these onshore winds, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
There’s a gap here where nothing is really working. The surf just stays small and weak. From the 21st through the 24th, we’re looking at tiny waves – 3ft down to 1ft – with periods as short as 4 seconds and the combined energy dropping to just 12. It’s almost flat.
We start to see a little lift again on Sunday, 26th July, with a 3ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is still cross-on. The period picks up to 5 seconds, but the energy is still low (56). It’s not enough to get excited about. The last few days of the run, around the 28th and 29th, the swell gets a bit more push – 4ft on Wednesday the 29th – but the wind is up to 22 mph from the SSE, making it fresh, lumpy, and messy. The combined energy hits 102, but it’s a very poor quality 102.
The best of a bad bunch is probably the morning of Friday, 17th July. The swell is 5ft from the SE, which is the biggest we see, and the combined energy hits 171. But it’s still cross-on wind. The break is Condos, which is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, and it sometimes gets crowded. But with the wind direction mismatch, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. There’s no standout session here, folks. This is one of those stretches where the forecast just isn’t offering any good surf.
Rusty.

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.
