Table - best surf conditions forecast for Condos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. It’s a rough outlook for the Condos area, no two ways about it. The forecast is stuffed with poor surf conditions for nearly two weeks straight, so don’t expect much.
Water temp is around 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special. The surf, though? A real bummer. From Saturday 11 July through Thursday 23 July, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny, weak, short-period swell. The combined energy is low, mostly under 100 (weak), with a few days barely hitting the low 100s. Wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, messing up whatever small waves there are. Swell heights are around 3ft to 4ft, but the period is short, 4 to 7 seconds, so no power or shape. For a beach break with this wind and weak swell, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a gap of about 13 days with no real recommendations. The first sign of anything surfable doesn’t come until Saturday 25 July morning. The swell is still small, only about 3ft from the SSE, with a short 5-second period, so not much energy. But the wind finally switches to a light offshore from the W at 3 mph, and the report says “clean.” The combined energy is still low at 56 (weak), but it’s the best we’ve seen. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so the small size is actually good for learners, and the offshore wind will make it smooth. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect a few others around. This is the only real standout in the whole outlook.
Then Sunday 26 July morning looks okay too. It’s glassy with a light WNW wind, and the swell is similar at about 3ft from the SSE. Again, small, short-period, low energy (50), but glassy conditions mean you can still have a fun session on a longboard or foamie. The afternoon goes back to cross-shore wind and chop, so the morning is the window.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through the end of the period. So, in short: don’t get your hopes up for the first couple of weeks. The best bet is the morning of 25 July, with clean offshore wind and small, manageable waves. It’s not firing, but it’s the only chance at something decent.

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.
