The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch of days for a paddle. We're looking at a long, long gap of nothing worth getting wet for, so if you've got a kiteboard, you might be in luck, but for us surfers, it's a waiting game.
The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. The first solid week, from Wednesday the 26th right through to the start of September, is all tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. We're talkin' swell heights barely reaching 3 ft, and the period is a gutless 4 to 6 seconds – that's pure windswash. The combined wave energy is pathetic, hovering between 12 and 37 (weak). Every day is labelled "poor surf conditions," and honestly, it's bang on. Winds are mostly from the SE or SSE, so you're looking at cross-onshore or straight onshore chop. There's one morning, Saturday the 29th, that goes glassy early with a risk of thunderstorms, but the swell is only 1 ft – you could barely get a knee-high ripple.
We also have a useless swell direction for the main break, Condos. The optimum swell direction is from the SE, but the whole forecast period has it coming from the SSE and SE – it'll be hitting it straight on, not wrapping in cleanly. No standout here. Not even close.
Come the 7th of September, Monday morning, we finally get a sniff of something better. For the first time in the whole run, the wind goes offshore from the NW (just 3 mph). It's clean, but the swell is only 2 ft with a 6-second period. The energy is still weak at 21. It's not surfable, but at least it's not a washing machine. After that, we slide right back into the same onshore junk for the rest of the window, finishing on Thursday the 10th with a slightly bigger 3 ft swell but still a short period and a cross-onshore wind. It's a no-go.
Bottom line: if you're dreaming of a wave, you're gonna be staring at flat water for almost two weeks. The 7th offers a small, clean window, but it's barely a ripple. Kite surfers might find some fun in the afternoon seabreezes on those bigger SE wind days, but for a surfboard? Nothin' doin'. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is about as blank as it gets for the area.
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.
