The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper wave. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The first real chance of anything even worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until around the 16th of August, and even then, it’s marginal at best.

Right now, and for the next several days, we’ve got a mess of small, short-period swell – barely pushing 2ft to 3ft – with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s wind chop, not surf. The wind is all over the place, mostly from the southeast, and it’s just going to keep things lumpy and messy. The combined energy is weak, in the teens and twenties mostly, and the waves are breaking all over the place with no real power. You’d be fighting for scraps and probably not getting any. The water temp is sitting at 84° with a zero anomaly, so it’s about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s not disappointing.

The swell starts to pick up a little around the 12th and 13th, but it’s still small – around 3ft to 4ft – and the period is still short, only creeping up to 6 seconds. The wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy. The energy is building though, moving from the 40s into the 60s and 70s, but it’s still not enough to make it worth your while. This is a stretch where you’re better off doing something else.

The one bright spot in this whole window is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. The swell is up to 4ft from the southeast, with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-onshore. The energy is the highest we’ll see, hitting 91 – that’s the only time it gets close to moderate. It’s not going to be clean, but it might be the least bad option. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so don’t get too excited. But if you’re desperate, that’s your window.

After that, it’s back to the same story – small, weak, and messy. The period stays short, the wind stays cross-onshore, and the energy drops back down. The second week is just more of the same, nothing worth setting the alarm for.

Honestly, this is a blank run. The break itself, Condos, is fairly consistent, which is a bit of a tease, but the conditions are just not cooperating. There’s a bit of a bump in energy around the 16th, but it’s still not good surf. I wouldn’t be surprised if this stays poor for a while – it happens. But don’t lose hope, forecasts can change. For now, I’d keep the board in the car and maybe go for a paddle.

Stay salty.

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.
