The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you — this is a tough one. The whole 16-day outlook for Condos is a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got a long, bleak stretch of poor surf conditions from Monday the 20th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s over two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell is tiny, lifting barely above 2 ft most days, and the longest period we see is a short 6 seconds. That’s weak, windswell junk. The combined energy sits mostly in the teens to seventies, never cracking 100 (31), so it’s all weak energy. The wind is the real killer — cross-on or onshore almost every session, blowing 12 to 25 mph, making everything choppy, lumpy, and messy. The odd morning like Wednesday the 22nd of July shows a clean cross-off breeze, but with only 2 ft of swell, you’re just looking at a flat, smooth ocean.
The water temperature is sitting at 84°F with a positive anomaly of 0.5°F — that’s pretty much average for the time of year here, so no thermal surprises. The swell direction is out of the S and SSE, which is not ideal for Condos, as it’s best with an optimum SE swell. The waves are too small and too blown out to even bother with a beginner board. Honestly, if you’re a kiter, the strong cross-onshore winds and those small, lumpy waves might be more interesting than a surf session.
There are no standouts, no hidden gems. Just a long, blank run. But with the break being fairly consistent, it tends not to stay this poor for long — forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
