The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real about this forecast. It's a rough one for Condos. Looking at the full 16-day window, I just don't see anything worth getting excited about. There are simply no good surf days on offer.
We're in for a long stretch of nothing. The first couple of weeks are just a total blank. The swell we do see is tiny and weak, mostly around 2 to 3ft from the SE or SSE. The energy readings are pitiful, stuck in the double digits – that’s as weak as it gets. And to add insult to injury, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore blowing at 10 to 20 km/h, chopping up the scarce waves into a mess.
Things try to pick up around September 11th and 12th. The swell pushes up to about 4ft from the SE, but the period remains a dismal 6 seconds. The energy numbers finally get into the moderate range (124 to 155), but that short period means it's going to be soft and crumbly. With 25 to 30 km/h cross-onshore winds, it’ll be lumpy and poor. I'd say with that much wind and that quality, it looks more promising for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s one bright spot, and it’s a small one. On the morning of Tuesday, September 8th, we get a window of glassy conditions with a light SW wind. This is over a small 2ft SE swell. Even then, the report says it’s just “poor surf conditions,” so we’re not talking about a classic. It’s the only time in this entire run it goes glassy, so it’s the only morning I’d even consider checking.
On that note, the water temperature is about 85°F, which is roughly 1°F warmer than average for this time of year. No big deal, just a touch on the warm side.
To sum it all up, the next 16 days are a total bust. There are no good options on the table. But these dead spells happen. The spot is fairly consistent in the long run, so don't panic. Forecasts change, and better days are likely ahead. For now, leave the board at home.

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.
