The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Condos.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run we’re looking at over the next 16 days. There’s nothing here that gets the heart racing. The whole forecast period is a flat, choppy mess with hardly a glimmer of a decent wave. We’re talking about a solid stretch of weak, onshore wind junk.
Right from Friday the 21st of August through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s all the same story. Tiny swell, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft from the SSE or SE. The period is a miserable 4 to 6 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not proper groundswell. The water’s a warm 85°, about average for the time of year here.
The combined wave energy barely gets out of the two-digit range, sitting around teeny numbers like 18 or 22, and the highest it ever climbs is a weak 56 on the 5th of September. That’s not even enough to get a beginner excited. Every single morning and afternoon is marked as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. The wind is a constant problem – cross-on or onshore from the SE or SSE, making everything choppy and crummy.
For a beginner spot like Condos, with it being fairly consistent in a normal sense, this is a proper drought. There is simply no standout session, no hidden gem day. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of quality surfing. If you absolutely have to get wet, you’ll be battling a light cross-onshore bump on a knee-high ripple. Honestly, with the persistent onshore wind and tiny, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
That’s the long and short of it. A blank run like this is a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don’t throw the board in the shed just yet.
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.
