The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coast is in a bit of a flat spell. The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 17th, and even then it’s not going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you’ll need patience.
The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is about 2° above the norm for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch on the balmy side.
The only spot that even gets a mention is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the swell. The preferred swell direction is from the SE. For the entire first two weeks, it’s a write-off: tiny 2 ft to 2 ft waves from the SSE or SE with a short, weak period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, barely scratching 26 (very weak energy). The wind is mostly a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making everything choppy and messy. Poor surf conditions all the way.
Then, on Thursday morning, September 17th, we get a tiny glimmer. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SE, still a short 6-second period, but the combined energy lifts to 61 (still weak, but better). The real kicker is the wind: it goes glassy. A light, offshore glass-off from the NW. That’s the only window of clean, smooth conditions in the entire forecast. The swell is small, but for a beginner, on a clean day, it might be just enough to get a fun little slide. The surf is described as “surfable but very ordinary,” which is the best we’ve got.
That afternoon, the wind swings back onshore and it’s back to poor surf. So, if you’re keen, mark Thursday the 17th for a dawn paddle at Condos when the wind is dead calm. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
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.
