The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
It’s a rough run, mate. From the 23rd of July all the way through to the 7th of August, conditions are consistently poor. Wind is wrong, swell is small and short-period, and nothing lines up for a decent paddle.
Thursday the 23rd kicks it off bad. A tiny 2 ft south swell with a 4-second period, and a 30 km/h cross-on wind from the SSE. Lumpy and messy. Water temp is 84°, normal for this time of year.
Friday the 24th sees a bit more size, up to 4 ft from the SSE, but that fresh cross-on wind keeps it choppy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 121 on Friday morning, but it’s all wasted.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th stays small, below 3 ft, with the wind still cross-on at 12-15 km/h. Energy is weak, in the 30-54 range. Not worth it.
From Monday the 27th through Sunday the 2nd of August, it’s more of the same. Swell holds around 2 to 3 ft, period stuck at 5-6 seconds, and cross-on winds from S or SSE at 12-19 km/h. The combined energy stays weak, topping out at 93 on the 3rd.
There’s a slight bump on Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August, with 5 ft SE swell and the period reaching 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 173 and 162, so that’s moderate power, but the wind is still cross-on from SSE or SE at 12-15 km/h. Still poor surf.
The only spot in the forecast is Condos (Condos_1), a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent and exposed. But with the wrong wind and the swell coming from SSE or S instead of the optimal SE, it’s just a mess.
Final word: No good surf in the 16-day window. The wind never lets up, the swell is short-period and misdirected. This kind of consistent cross-on wind might be fun for kite surfing, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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.
