The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for Condos over the next 16 days.
Straight up – I gotta be honest with you. There’s not a single session worth paddling out for in this whole window. The forecast shows nothing but poor surf conditions from start to finish. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the energy never gets above moderate – we’re talkin’ combined energy values in the 12–212 range, and even the highest (212) is paired with a messy cross-onshore breeze and a short 8-second period. That’s not a wave you wanna drive for.
Condos is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that usually picks up SE swell, but this run is a total dud. The first few days – July 16 through 20 – offer heights around 2 ft to 4 ft, but with 16 mph cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, it’s just a washing machine. By July 21, the swell drops to 0.7 ft with a 9-second period and light wind, but still cross-onshore and poor. That pattern holds all the way through July 31, with the occasional tiny bump but never enough to clean up.
The best you can say is that the water is probably average for the time of year – no temp data here, but no anomaly to report. And honestly, for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this blank stretch is a bit of a bummer. But hey, forecasts can change, and it’s not unheard of for a quiet spell to hit. For now, I’d keep the board in the car and maybe go for a paddle or a swim. No surf to get excited about.
Rusty out.

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.
