The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days for Condos, it's a tough stretch. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is almost always blowing across or onshore, so the surface is gonna be choppy and messy. To be honest, there isn't a single time in the whole window where conditions line up for a decent paddle. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't even show up because it never really does. The guides are all saying "poor surf conditions" from the start on Friday, August 21st, all the way through to Saturday, September 5th. That's a solid two-week gap with nothing to recommend.
For Condos, we're looking at ankle to knee-high slop, with swell heights from 1ft to 3ft. The swell direction is mostly from the SSE or SE, which isn't the ideal SE direction the spot likes to see. The period is a weak 4 to 6 seconds, so there's no push or shape. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 8 and 85 (85 on the 28th of August being the highest, but still nothing to write home about). The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit dramas.
The wind is a constant problem. Most mornings have a cross-onshore breeze from the SSE at 9 to 12 mph, and afternoons ramp up to 15 mph from the SE. It's going to be a bumpy, blown-out mess. Even on the 29th of August afternoon and the 1st of September afternoon, the wind switches to straight onshore, which is even worse.
Because it's a small, weak, and wind-affected beach break, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight, and hopefully the forecasts change. Signing off, 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.
