The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Condos.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Condos. We’re looking at a real dry spell. There are no good surf options on offer for a solid two and a half weeks, from now right through to the end of the month.
We start off with a little pulse on Sunday morning the 16th, with some 3ft swell from the SE, but the wind is on it and the wave energy is weak (49). It’s a no-go. The whole first week is plagued by cross-onshore and onshore winds from the SSE and SE, gusting up to 19 mph, which just chop everything to bits. The swell barely tickles 3ft at its best (combined energy of all swells directed here around 56), but with that wind, it’s just messy.
We don’t see any real change as we roll into the second week. It’s the same story: small, weak SE swell, and a frustrating mix of cross-onshore breezes. The water temp is sitting around 84°F which is about average for the time of year, but with no solid groundswell to push through, it doesn’t matter.
There’s a tiny window around the morning of the 26th of August where the wind drops to a slight air, and we get a 3ft SE swell with slightly stronger energy (53), but it’s still labelled as poor surf conditions. It’s a tease, but not worth paddling out for. Then the 30th of August morning shows a similar 3ft pulse (38 combined energy), again with light winds, but the direction is still cross-onshore, so the surface won’t be clean enough to make it fun.
For a break like Condos, which is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, seeing this many days in a row with “poor surf conditions” is a bummer. It’s one of those periods where you just wait it out. The forecasts will change eventually, but for now, there is nothing to recommend.
Stay patient, mate.

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.
