The Lowdown
Well, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch we’re looking at is a tough one. The swell just isn’t doing us any favors, and the wind has been a real pest for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing on the horizon, with no decent surf on offer for the entire 16-day window.
We start off this Monday afternoon, the 7th, with almost nothing. There’s a weak, short-period bump showing 1.3ft from the SSE with a period of just 4 seconds, but it’s blown out and messy. We’re looking at a combined energy of just 10, which is as weak as it gets. The water is sitting at 85.8°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small silver lining for a swim, not a surf.
The next several days are more of the same. We’re talking about tiny, wind-blown slop from Tuesday through to the weekend. Swell heights hover around 1.3ft to 2.6ft, with periods that barely crack 5 seconds. The wind stays on it or crosses it up, making for choppy, poor conditions. The energy numbers barely leave the single digits or sit in the low double digits. It’s not even worth paddling out for, to be honest.
There’s a slight pulse of energy early next week, around the 14th and 15th, but it’s still only pushing 3.6ft at best, and the swell direction is a shabby SE, which isn’t what we want to see at Condos. The wind remains mostly cross-onshore, so it’s likely to be lumpy and bumpy. This spot is exposed to swell, but without the right direction and clean conditions, exposure just means it cops the full brunt of the chop.
We get a few mornings where it might look like it cleans up, like the 19th when a light N wind does bring some cleaner conditions, but the swell is still tiny – 3ft of short-period SE energy. It’s a tease at best.
All in all, this is one of those blank runs where Mother Nature just isn’t co-operating. The period is too short, the swell is too small, and the wind is mostly wrong. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, the conditions are completely unfavourable, and even the more experienced among us would be scratching our heads. Keep the board in the car, maybe go for a paddle, and wait for the forecast to change. It can’t stay this poor for long.

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.
