The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the surf for the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight with each other: it’s gonna be a tough stretch for anyone chasing waves.
We’re looking at a long, flat spell ahead. For the first week and a half, the ocean’s just not doing its job. We’ve got day after day of weak, short-period windswell, with heights stuck below 3ft. The energy in the water is pathetic – we’re talking readings in the 30s and 40s, which is as weak as it gets. The wind’s also going to be a constant headache, mostly cross-onshore and choppy, which will make a mess of anything that does try to break. This is a write-off. Don’t even bother getting the wetsuit on.
There is a small change coming around Thursday, August 14th. We see a slight bump in the swell and energy, but even then, it’s only getting up to around 4ft. The energy climbs to a three-digit number, around 111 on the Friday afternoon, but it’s still tiny, short-period stuff. For a beginner spot like Condos (Condo), that’s not going to be a fun time. It could be rideable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps in messy, choppy conditions. This isn't the standout you're hoping for; it's just the least bad option in a barren landscape. The swell direction is also purely SE, which isn't ideal for this spot.
We’ll see a brief glassy moment on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, with a slight air and clean conditions. The swell is still only 3ft, but the energy is still weak at 45. There might be a few fun little nuggets if you’re desperate and just need to get wet, but it’s still far from good.
Overall, this is a grim 16-day outlook. There are no real standouts. If you absolutely have to paddle out, the window around the 14th might be your best bet, but set your expectations to zero. Otherwise, save your energy and wait for the next proper swell. The water is a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Rusty out.

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.
