The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next sixteen days are about as exciting as a flat battery. There's just no swell to speak of, and the conditions are pretty ordinary across the board. We've got a long dry spell on our hands.
Looking at Condos, which is a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent, it's a no-go for the whole period. We're looking at a constant stream of tiny, weak, short-period wind swell, mostly from the SSE to SE. The combined energy never gets out of the weak zone, maxing out at a measly 46 (weak energy). On top of that, the wind is almost always cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
It's a full 16-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. For an area like this, a blank run is a bit more normal, but it still stings. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, which is the only thing that's not letting us down. Honestly, with the persistent onshore wind and small, weak surf, this setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Better luck next time. Hang loose.

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.
