The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim 16-day stretch for the waves. We’ve got a long, long gap of nothing worthwhile. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, and even then it’s not exactly something to write home about. Before that, from now all the way through to Tuesday the 8th, it’s just flat or poor surf conditions with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little bump there is. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of waiting.
The only break on the radar is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the swell and the guidance says it prefers swell from the SE. The problem is, the wind is almost never on your side. For almost the entire period, the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, coming from the SSE or SE, which is going to keep things choppy and messy.
The best chance of a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. We’ll see a small bump in energy with a swell reading about 4 ft from the SSE, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is only moderate, at 114. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the SSE at 19 mph. It’s going to be lumpy and not very clean. This is about as good as it gets, which tells you everything.
The rest of the second week, from the 10th through to the 14th, is more of the same: small, short-period swell with onshore winds. The swell height never gets above 5 ft, and the energy stays low. Nothing here is going to thrill you.
If you’ve got a kite, this is probably more interesting than a paddle board, because the wind is consistent and there’s some chop to play with, but for a surf, I’d save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
