The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer around here.
Alright, mate, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a write-off. There’s not a single decent surf window in the whole forecast. The first record kicks off on Wednesday the 5th of August, and from there right through to Thursday the 20th of August, every single session is labelled as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap with no recommendation. The break we’re looking at is Condos – a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent normally, but not this time.
The main issue is the wind. It’s coming from the SE to SSE almost constantly, which is either cross-on or directly onshore. That’s blowing the surface out and making it choppy and lumpy. The swell is tiny – hanging around 1.6 ft to 4.3 ft – and it’s all short-period windswell of just 5 to 7 seconds from the SE, which is the worst direction for this setup. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 20s and 30s, with a couple of days creeping into the 100s (like 108 on the 13th of August Thursday morning), but even then it’s still poor because the wind is a fresh 18.6 mph cross-on. That’s more kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing, honestly.
Water temp is sitting at 83.3°F with a tiny anomaly of -0.2°F, so it’s about average for this time of year – no surprises there.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re itching for a paddle, keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change, but right now this stretch is a total dud.

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.
