The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are lookin’ pretty flat and grim. There’s nothing that even qualifies as a decent surf recommendation in the whole window; it’s a total blank run for us. The first record we see is on Thursday afternoon, August 27th, but that’s just tiny 1ft junk from the SE with a short 4-second period and weak energy (7). And it gets worse from there.
The whole stretch from August 27th all the way through to September 11th is one long stretch of poor surf conditions. Swell heights barely creep up to 3ft at best, and that’s on a few mornings, like Tuesday September 1st with 3ft SE swell, and Wednesday September 9th with 3ft SE swell. But the period is always short – around 5 or 6 seconds – so it’s weak, bumpy, and messy. Combined energy figures are all low double-digits or single-digit tiny numbers (the biggest is 48 on Sep 9th morning), so there’s no power behind it at all.
Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, often moderate to fresh, so you’re looking at choppy, lumpy surfaces. There are two brief moments of glassy conditions – Saturday morning August 29th and Saturday morning September 5th – but with swell at only 0.3ft and 3ft respectively, and both from SE/ESE with no period punch, you’re just sitting on a lake.
Water temp at the start is 85° with a mild anomaly of 0.9° – pretty normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
So, honestly? There is no standout. There’s not a single session I’d paddle out for. For an area that’s fairly consistent normally, this is a real dud, but it happens. Forecasts can change. For now, leave the board in the car and maybe grab a kite if you're into that – Condos (Condos) is a beginner-friendly exposed beach break, but with these tiny weak swells and onshores it’s more of a wind play zone than a surf spot.
Keep an eye on things, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
