The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. It’s a tough stretch ahead, I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window from now, we’ve basically got a big fat zero on the surf front. There’s nothing worth paddling out for right from the start, and that run of flat, poor conditions stretches all the way through to the end of the forecast period. We’re talking 16 solid days with no real surf on offer. It’s a long dry spell, no two ways about it.
The only spot in the mix is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, exposed to whatever swell comes its way. The optimum swell direction here is SE. But for the entire run, the swell is tiny—nothing over 4 ft, and most of it is under 3 ft. The period is short, between 4 and 7 seconds, so it’s all weak, windswell junk. The combined energy never cracks triple digits; the highest is 86 (weak energy), and it’s often in the teens or single digits. That’s just not enough to push a wave.
And the wind doesn’t do us any favours either. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the SSE, SE, or ESE, blowing at 6 to 19 mph. Water temp is about average for the time of year, but you won’t care because you won’t be in it. Every single session is rated “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Look, the breaks around here are usually fairly consistent, so this blank run feels worse than it should. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total write-off. You’re better off doing something else for the next couple of weeks. Don’t bother checking the buoys or the charts—just wait it out.
Stay patient,
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.
