The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one.
We're looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there's not a single moment where the conditions come together for a decent surf. The whole run is a flat, choppy mess. The first recommendation doesn't even show up, so we're looking at a solid 16-day gap with no surf on offer.
The only spot we've got to look at is Condos. It's a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, exposed to the swell, with an optimum swell direction from the SE. But the problem is the swell just isn't there. The waves are tiny, ranging from 1ft to 3ft, with a short, weak period of only 4 to 5 seconds. That's all windswell, no power behind it. The combined swell energy is pitiful, never cracking triple digits, sitting as low as 11 (weak energy) and only peaking at a measly 47 (weak energy).
On top of the flatness, the wind is a nightmare. It's a constant cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, keeping the surface choppy and ugly. We get a brief moment of light cross-shore wind on Saturday morning, August 22nd, but the swell is still only 2ft and weak. It's not worth paddling out for.
The water temperature is 85° with a 2° anomaly, so it's running just a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's about the only positive thing I can say.
Given the persistent small swell, poor quality, and strong cross-onshore wind at a beach break, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecast is so consistently poor that it's hard to be optimistic. Sometimes a blank run like this is just normal for the area, and this is one of those times.
Stay patient, check the charts in a few days, and maybe pick up a new hobby for a while.
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.
