The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles.
Straight up: this 16-day forecast is a dud. From Saturday, August 29th, all the way through to mid-September, there’s hardly a wave worth paddling for. The first real gap is pretty much the whole first week and a half—just small, choppy junk.
Let’s look at Condos. On Saturday morning, August 29th, it’s glassy with a tiny 1 ft SE swell and a period of only 4 seconds. Combined energy is a weak 8. Water temp is 85°, about 1° above average—nothing to write home about. Then from Saturday afternoon until September 7th, it’s all onshore and cross-onshore winds from the SE and ESE, swell heights stuck between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, and period never getting above 5 seconds. The energy stays in the teens and twenties. Every single entry says “poor surf conditions,” and that’s gospel. It’s choppy, weak, and ugly.
There’s one moment on the morning of September 11th that’s the best we get. Condos sees a 3 ft SE swell, still short period at 5 seconds, but the wind comes from the north at 6 mph, cross-offshore, and the wave state reads “clean.” Combined energy hits 34. That’s the highlight, but it’s still small and weak. After that, we get glassy mornings on the 12th and 13th with swell dropping to 2-2 ft and energy back down to 18 or less. Not surfable.
If you’re a total beginner, the glassy tiny days might be okay for a lesson. For anyone else, leave the board at home. This is a long, flat, frustrating stretch.
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.
