The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me break down what we’ve got coming up for Condos. To be straight with you, mate, it’s a tough stretch of outlooks. Looking across the whole 16 days, I don’t see a single session I’d call a winner for a proper surf. We’ve got swell, sure, but the wind is the killer from the start right through to the end – it’s persistently cross-onshore and often fresh to strong. That’s gonna chop everything up and make it lumpy, not the kind of day you paddle out for.
We start with Thursday morning, July 23rd. There’s a tiny 0.5m S swell at 5 seconds – that's short period, weak energy (15). The morning has a gentle offshore breeze which is clean for a moment, but it’s barely a wave. By the afternoon, the wind swings to a fresh cross-on S at 35 km/h and the quality is gone. That poor-surf tag is on everything.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th: the swell bumps up a bit, around 1.4m on Friday and then dropping back, but the wind stays cross-onshore. Fresh breezes on Friday make it lumpy, Saturday is light cross-onshore at 10 km/h but still messy. Combined energy stays low to moderate at best – we see 137 on Friday morning. Still, with that wind direction, it’s not surfable.
We go through a long, flat spell. From July 26th right through to August 3rd, it’s the same story: weak little swells, mostly under 1m, with that relentless cross-onshore wind. The wind is coming from SSE or SE, sometimes fresh at 25–35 km/h. The water temp is 84°F, anomaly of 1°F, so about normal for this time of year. Not a single standout. Conditions are labelled "poor surf conditions" for every single session.
Now, there is a pulse that shows up around August 5th. Wednesday morning the 5th shows a 1.6m SE swell at 7 seconds, combined energy climbing to 233 – that’s moderate to strong energy. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run. Still, the wind is cross-onshore at 30 km/h, and it’s described as "fresh cross-onshore and lumpy." So even though the size is there, you’d be fighting chop. It stays in that range through Thursday the 6th, 1.4m at 7 seconds with moderate breeze cross-onshore. For kite surfers, the combination of decent wind and some swell might be fun, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
The last day I see is Friday, August 7th, and the swell drops back under 1m, wind still on it. Nothing changes.
So overall, in the entire 16-day window, there is no window of clean, rideable waves. It’s a blank run – sometimes the conditions just don’t line up, and this is one of those times. Hold tight, forecasts change, it won’t stay this way forever.
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.
