The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s goin’ on at Condos for the weeks ahead.
First thing, water’s 83°F – about average for the season. As for the waves? Man, it’s a tough run.
Wednesday, July 15th kicks it off with a bummer. Just a weak 3ft SE swell with a 5-second period, and cross-onshore winds from the SSE at 16 mph tearin’ it up. Wave energy is weak (61). Thursday the 16th is a little bigger at 4ft, but the wind cranks up to 19 mph, makin’ it lumpy. Energy hits 92 but it’s still just poor.
Friday the 17th is the best of the first week – 4ft from the SE, 6-second period, and energy gets to 130 (moderate). But that cross-on wind at 16 mph keeps everythin’ choppy. Not worth the struggle.
From Saturday the 18th through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a slow slide. Swell drops from 4ft down to 2ft, period slips to 5 seconds, and energy fades into the 20s and 30s. Wind stays cross-on, and every note says “poor.”
Wednesday the 23rd to Saturday the 26th is more flatness – waves from 0.7ft to 2ft, weak energy. The wind eases up to a gentle 9 mph a couple mornings, but there’s no swell to ride. Sunday the 26th afternoon bumps back to 3ft but with a fresh 19 mph wind – lumpy again.
The last few days from Monday the 27th to Thursday the 30th show a little pulse – swell around 3ft to 4ft, still SE and SSE, still short period. Energy gets back to 50-70, but cross-onshore winds at 16-22 mph ruin the party.
The one bright spot? Tuesday afternoon the 21st – wind goes offshore from the SE at 16 mph. But the swell is just 2ft with a 5-second period and energy of 31. You might find a tiny ripple, but that’s about it.
Overall, we’ve got a solid two-week gap with nothing surfable. For this spot, a stretch like this is pretty normal. If you’ve got a kite, that steady cross-onshore wind and small chop is where the action’s at. For paddle surfers? It’s a waiting game.
Keep your eyes on the horizon – forecasts can turn.

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.
