The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into it.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this 16-day window for Condos is a tough one. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always in the wrong direction, and it’s going to be a long, quiet stretch. There’s a gap of no real surf action from the start until a slight bump in energy around Tuesday the 4th of August, but even that isn’t going to save the week.
The only spot on the radar is Condos itself. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, but it’s exposed to the swell and the optimum swell direction is from the SE. The problem is, for the entire forecast, the swell is coming from the SSE or SE, and the wind is almost constantly a moderate to fresh cross-onshore breeze from the SSE or SE. That’s going to chop it right up. The water temp is sitting at about 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Tuesday the 4th of August. There’s a bit more energy in the water, with the combined swell energy hitting 224 (moderate) in the morning, and we’ve got a 4ft SSE swell. That’s still small, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The period is a short 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit messy and on the weaker side. The wind is still cross-on, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the only day where the energy is enough to make a few rideable lumps. The afternoon drops off to 124 (weak), so hit the morning if you’re keen.
After that, it’s back to the same story: 2ft to 4ft swell, short periods, and cross-onshore winds through to the end of the outlook on the 14th of August. For a beginner spot, this is just not going to be much fun. The conditions are so poor for paddle surfing that with the consistent cross-onshore wind and small chop, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for someone on a surfboard.
There’s no standout session here. The 4th of August morning is the only one that even gets close to worth a look, but keep your expectations real low. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a flat, windy run.
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.
