The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for a proper paddle. The swell is weak and short period, and the wind is just not playing ball.
The first sniff of anything that even looks like a wave comes from Condos, a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s a real struggle. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing that’s not against us.
The entire forecast is plagued by poor surf conditions. For the first week, from Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the 2nd of August, we’ve got weak, short-period SSE swell around 2 to 3 feet, with a period of just 5 to 6 seconds. That’s just wind chop, really. The combined swell energy is feeble, sitting at a measly 53 (kW/m) at best, and often dropping into the 20s and 30s. On top of that, the wind is a cross-onshore mess from the SE and SSE, blowing 12 to 15 mph, making it choppy and ugly. Saturday morning the 2nd of August offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light NNW wind, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 to 3 feet with a 5-second period, so it’s still flat.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Monday the 4th of August through to the 13th of August is more of the same – tiny, weak swells, never exceeding 4 to 5 feet, and even then it’s just a 6-second period. The wind stays mostly cross-onshore, with a few days of onshore conditions. The energy levels climb slightly, hitting 135 (kW/m) on the morning of Monday the 10th of August, but it’s still a short-period, messy SE swell with a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 18 mph. That’s more of a kite-surfing vibe than a clean paddle session.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout. No clean swell, no good wind, no quality waves. It’s a blank run. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s not a normal pattern for the area to have this many days of nothing, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.
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.
