The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Condos.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days look like a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The swell is tiny and weak, the wind is never on our side, and it’s all just a bit of a mess. The first week is a total washout, with onshore or cross-onshore winds from the SSE and ESE just chopping everything up. You’re looking at knee-high slop, if that. The wave energy is low, barely registering in the double digits for most of the first week. It’s not even worth paddling out for.
Things do get a little bigger in the second week, but it’s not a good kind of bigger. From the 10th of September onward, we start seeing some more energy coming through, with the combined energy getting into the moderate range (112 on the 10th, 183 on the 11th, hitting 341 on the 11th afternoon). But the wind is still a problem – fresh cross-onshore breezes from the SSE are going to make it lumpy and choppy. The swell height climbs to around 5 ft to 5 ft, but it’s short-period stuff, mostly around 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have any real power or shape. It’s just messy, blown-out, and not user-friendly. For a beginner-friendly break like Condos, that’s not what you want to see.
The water temperature is sitting at 86°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice, but that’s the only good news.
I can’t in good conscience point to any standout session here. There’s no day where the wind cleans up, the swell lines up, and the quality comes together. It’s a long dry spell, but with a spot that’s fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, save your energy.
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.
