The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking like a bit of a flat spell for the Condos area. We've got a sixteen-day window ahead, but honestly, there's not a single session that I'd call a goer.
Let's break it down. The whole period is a struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly hovering around 0.7ft to 3ft, and it's coming from the SE. The period is short, mostly 4 to 6 seconds, which means it's just wind chop, not real swell. The water temperature is a warm 85°F currently, which is about normal for this time of year.
We kick off on Tuesday the 25th of August with a 2ft SE swell, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, making it messy. The combined energy is weak at just 23. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are more of the same – tiny, poor surf. Friday morning the 28th starts with some glassy conditions and a 2ft swell, but it's still just too small to do anything with. The energy is a microscopic 14.
Saturday the 29th morning you get a bit of glass again, but the swell drops to 1.0ft with an energy of 7. That's basically a lake. From there, it just stays flat and weak. The few glimpses of SE swell on the 5th and 6th of September see it bump up to 3ft, but the wind is howling onshore at 18 mph, making it a complete write-off. The combined energy on those days is only 44, still very weak.
Honestly, there's nothing to recommend. For a beginner, you need something over 5ft to even think about it, and we don't get close. The conditions are consistently poor, and the swell is just too small and weak to offer any kind of ride. This is one of those stretches where you just leave the board in the car and go do something else.
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.
