The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about it in feet and miles per hour.
The news for Condos isn't great for the next two weeks. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with very little to get excited about. The swell is just not there, and the wind is a constant problem.
Starting out on Wednesday, August 5th, we get a weak, short-period swell from the SSE at 3 ft, but the wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph. The combined wave energy is a measly 40, and it's just choppy, messy surf. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that's one small win, but it doesn't help the waves. This pattern of small, weak swell and cross-onshore wind basically locks in for days. We see the same story on Thursday, Friday, and through the weekend – tiny waves, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft, with periods of 5 to 6 seconds, generating weak energy readings (often below 50). The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, making the surface choppy and ugly.
The following week doesn't offer any relief. Monday through to the next weekend, it's more of the same: small, short-period wind swell from the SE, with cross-onshore winds that keep the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell height barely cracks 3 ft a couple of times, with the highest energy reading hitting a moderate 94 on the 15th, but even then, the wind is onshore, killing any chance of a clean wave. The period never gets above 7 seconds, so there's no real power or shape.
Heading into the third week, from the 17th to the 20th, the wind actually picks up, with gusts hitting 19 to 22 mph. That makes it even more blown out and messy. The swell stays tiny, and the energy is low.
So, what's the verdict? Honestly, there are no standout sessions here. The one break, Condos, is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that's exposed to the swell, but the forecast is a relentless run of poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy is weak for the entire 16-day window, with all values under 100. For a surfer, this is a blank run. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the constant wind and small, choppy waves. Don't waste your petrol. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long wait.
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.
