The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days, it's a tough stretch for the local waves. The data shows a long, frustrating run of poor conditions, so I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
We start on Thursday, the 3rd of September, and honestly, there's nothing to get excited about for a long time. The first recommendation isn't a bright spot; it's a case of "if you're desperate." The only wave on offer is Condos, a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that's exposed to the swell. But the swell we're getting is weak and messy. The wind is a constant problem, blowing cross-on or onshore nearly every day, chopping up whatever tiny waves try to form.
For the first week, from Thursday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 9th, the swell is tiny, between 1 ft and 3 ft, with a short, weak period of only 4 to 6 seconds. The combined energy of the swells is pitiful, barely registering (9 to 48). It's mostly cross-on breezes, making for choppy, unrideable conditions. If you're a beginner and you absolutely need to get wet, you could paddle out at Condos, but you'll be fighting an onshore mess. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Heading into the second week, from Thursday the 10th up to Friday the 18th, we finally see a slight bump in swell size. The waves pick up, reaching 4 ft to 5 ft, and the period stretches to 6 seconds. The combined swell energy gets into the moderate range (64 to 152). That sounds promising, right? Wrong. The wind direction stays stubbornly from the SE, blowing straight onshore or cross-on, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." The bigger swell just means messier, choppier, closed-out waves. If you're an expert, maybe you could find a close-out barrel, but it's not going to be fun. For the average surfer, it's a write-off. There's a significant gap of over two weeks with no genuinely good surf on offer.
So, to sum it up: there are no standouts in this 16-day window. The wind is the villain, and it's not letting up. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, it's a solid pass.
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.
