The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are a proper struggle for the surf around Condos. We've got a 16-day window, and honestly, there's nothing in it that I'd call a surf recommendation. The whole period is a blank run.
From Monday the 31st of August right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. You're looking at tiny, weak swell for days on end. The energy levels are pathetic, barely cracking double digits most of the time – we're talking combined swell energy down around 25 (sometimes as low as 12). That's not wave energy, that's a lake.
The swell direction is pinned from the SE the whole time, coming in at a measly 1ft to 4ft with a short period of just 4 to 7 seconds. That's windswell junk, not groundswell. And to make matters worse, the wind is a mess. It's mostly a moderate to fresh cross-onshore breeze from the SSE or SE, turning the surface into a choppy, lumpy mess. There's no clean window, no offshore flow, no glassy mornings to save it. Even the 11th of September, when the swell nudges up to 4ft and the energy hits 89, the wind is a fresh 19-22 mph cross-onshore. That's more of a kite session than a surf.
Sometimes a spot has a run of flat or poor conditions, and this is one of those times. It's fairly normal for the area when the pattern shuts down. There's not a single standout here, not even for beginners – the biggest swell is only 4ft and completely blown out. We just have to wait for the next change. Forecasts can shift, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Stay patient,
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.
