Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for the next couple of weeks at Condos. I’ll be straight with you: this one’s a tough read.
The overall pattern is a bummer. We’ve got a solid run of tiny, weak, short-period wind swell that’s basically just a constant onshore mess. The waves are there, but they’re not worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the 30s, 40s and 50s (38–128), and the swell period is a poxy 5–7 seconds, so there’s no push, no shape, just lumpy, choppy junk.
The whole 16-day window is a blank. From Sunday July 12th right through to Monday July 27th, the forecast is consistently “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about. The wind is from the SE, SSE, or S for the most part, blowing cross-on or onshore, and that’s just not going to clean anything up. The swell is coming from the SE or SSE, which is the wrong direction for this spot, which needs a SE swell to be any good.
The water temp is sitting at 84°F with a 1°F anomaly, which is about average for the time of year.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. The swell is small, the period is short, the wind is ugly, and the quality is zero. If you’re desperate, you might see a tiny 3ft to 4ft wave on the morning of Thursday July 17th, but it’ll be cross-on and choppy. Not worth your time. This setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you’re into that sort of thing.
It’s a dry spell. Sometimes the forecast changes, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home for a few weeks.
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.
