The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell ahead. The first surf worth mentioning doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then it’s a struggle. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells with pretty average wind almost the whole way through. There’s a long gap from the start right through to the end – no real standout days, just small, choppy conditions.
The only break we’ve got to work with is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but the swell direction is coming from the SSE and SE, which isn’t its optimum. The water’s sitting at 86°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year – a bit unusual, but nice for a paddle.
Kicking off on Wednesday morning the 2nd, we’ve got a tiny 2 ft SSE swell with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, and combined energy is only 26 – pretty limp. The wind is a cross S breeze at 15 mph, so it’s a bit messy. The afternoon gets worse: cross-on SE wind ramps up to 16 mph, making it choppy. Not a good day.
Thursday the 3rd is much the same – 3 ft SSE swell in the morning, still a short 5-second period, combined energy 43. Cross-on wind at 12 mph keeps it choppy. Afternoon goes onshore, just poor.
Friday the 4th: 2 ft SE swell, period 5 seconds, energy 26. Cross-on wind, light to moderate. Still poor.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th: swell drops to 2 ft, period 4 seconds, energy only 10. Light cross-on wind, but it’s so small it’s barely breaking. Afternoons are onshore and even worse.
The whole first week is a write-off. Tiny swell, short period, cross-on or onshore wind, and the combined energy never gets above 50. The water temperature anomaly is notable – about 2°F warmer than average – but that doesn’t help the waves.
Moving into the second week – Monday the 7th through to Thursday the 17th – it’s more of the same. Swell sizes hover between 1 ft and 3 ft, period stays at 5 or 6 seconds, and combined energy peaks at 50 on the 14th. Winds are still cross-on from the SSE or SE, fresh at times. Nothing changes.
The best you could say is the morning of Sunday the 13th has a 3 ft SE swell with 5-second period, energy 39, and a gentle cross-on breeze – still poor, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. Not saying much.
There’s no standout. No clean, glassy day. No proper groundswell. The whole 16-day window is just small, choppy, and underwhelming. For a beginner spot, it’s not even worth paddling out. If you’re a kiter, the consistent cross-on wind might be more interesting than surfing.
That’s the long and short of it. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s flat.

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.
