The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the surf ahead. Honestly, things are looking pretty flat and grim for the next couple of weeks. The wave energy is just not there, and the winds are mostly junk. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
We’ve got a run of tiny, short-period windswell with a lot of cross-onshore breeze. The best bet, if you’re desperate for a splash, will be a very brief window on Sunday morning (August 2nd). We’ll see a tiny 3ft of swell from the SSE, with a period of just 5 seconds. The trick is, the wind will be glassy with a light WNW breeze, so it might be cleaner than anything else we see. It’s a small, weak window, so don't expect much. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s really small. The water temp is a notable 84°, which is 0.9° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s not crazy, just a touch warm.
After that, it’s a messy mix of small surf and onshore junk. Winds are mostly cross-on from the SSE and SE, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell stays small, under 4ft most of the time, with periods of 5 to 6 seconds, so it’s weak and lacking any punch. The combined energy stays weak, mostly in the 20s and 50s, with occasional moderate readings in the low 60s, but that doesn’t mean decent surf. It just means more chop.
A bit of a bump shows up around the 10th and 11th of August, with the swell pushing to about 4ft, but it’s all short-period windswell and the winds are fresh and lumpy. Not worth your time unless you just want to fight for a closeout. The next couple of weeks are a blank run for real surf, which is a more normal pattern for this spot. It’s not going to stay this poor forever; forecasts can change, so keep an eye 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.
