The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. I’ve looked at the charts for the Condos area, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak 16-day stretch. There’s no good surf on the cards at all for this break. The first solid recommendation doesn’t even pop up, so we’re looking at a full gap right from the start with zero standout windows.
The water temperature at Condos is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there to report.
For the entire period, the swell is tiny and weak. We’re talking about 2 ft to 4 ft at best, with combined energy levels that are pathetic – barely cracking 90 (90) at the highest, and most days sitting down around 15 to 60. That’s weak wave energy, plain and simple. The swell direction is mainly from the S or SSE, which is not the optimum for Condos, which prefers a SE direction. The period is super short, mostly 4 to 6 seconds – that’s windswell junk, no real push or shape to it.
The wind is the real killer here. It’s onshore or cross-onshore almost every single day, blowing from the SSE, S, or SE at 9 mph to 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze most of the time, making for choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. There’s no glassy window, no offshore flow to clean things up. Even the few moments with a lighter breeze still have a cross-onshore component, keeping the surface bumpy.
Because the swell is small and the wind is so bad, the surf quality is consistently listed as poor. There’s nothing here for a beginner to even learn on, and definitely nothing for anyone looking for a proper wave. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross-onshore wind might get you interested, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total write-off.
The last few days of the run, from August 3rd onward, the swell drops to almost nothing, with heights of 0.7 ft to 2 ft and energy levels as low as 16 (16). It’s flat.
Look, this area is known for being inconsistent, and a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope. It’s a tough spell. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but right now, save your energy and don’t bother paddling out.
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.
