The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise. For the next sixteen days, the outlook for the Condos stretch is pretty bleak. The surf just isn't there.
We're looking at a run of weak, short-period windswell for the next week and a half. The size is mostly in the 2 to 3 foot range, but the wind is a constant cross-onshore, from the SSE and SE, so it’ll be chopped up and messy. The energy is weak, mostly in the 12 to 71 range, and it's just not enough to push through all the chop. From Friday the 21st all the way through the 5th of September, it's just a series of poor surf conditions. The weekend is a washout with that 15-25 km/h breeze. The water temp is 85°F, which is about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit warm, but nothing too unusual.
The first week is a total blank. There’s just nothing to get excited about. Then, on the 3rd and 4th of September, we finally see the energy climbing into the low triple digits, around 104 and 126, with the swell bumping to about 4 feet from the SE. That’s a hopeful sign, but the period is still a weak 6 seconds, and the wind is still blowing onshore. It’s going to be a lumpy, bumpy mess. Not classic.
In the second week, from the 5th of September on, we’re looking at more of that same SE windswell at 3-4 feet, still with a 6-second period and cross-onshore winds. The swell direction is starting to line up a bit better with the SE optimum direction for Condos, but it’s still not going to be clean. There might be some energy, but it’s not going to be surfable quality. With that constant onshore wind, you might have more fun kitesurfing than surfing.
So, for the next two weeks, there is nothing for the average surfer. For the experts, the 3rd and 4th of September might offer a last resort, but that's a long way out and the forecast is uncertain. Honestly, it’s a poor outlook, and there’s no point getting your hopes up. The water’s warm, but the waves are not. I'd be doing 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.
