The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. I’ve looked over the charts for the Condos area, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but don’t get your hopes up for anything special.

Right from the get-go on Tuesday, August 18th, it’s flat and messy. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, with a weak period of 5 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and with a cross-onshore breeze throwing chop on top of it, the conditions are just poor. The combined wave energy is a measly (22), which tells you all you need to know. This lacklustre pattern is set to stick around for days.

Through Wednesday and Thursday, the swell bumps up just a fraction to 2 ft, but that period stays stuck in the 4-5 second range. It’s still a junky, weak windswell. The wind stays a problem, mostly from the S or SE, keeping things cross-onshore and messy. Thursday afternoon, the wind shifts directly onshore, which is even worse. Energy values hover in the low 20s and 30s. We are in a real flat spell.

By Friday the 21st and into the weekend, there’s a slight improvement. The swell holds around 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSE and SE. We get a couple of windows – like Saturday morning and Sunday morning – where the wind backs off to a gentle cross-shore breeze. That’ll knock the chop down a bit, but the surf is still tiny and weak. The period is still short, so the waves have no push. The combined energy peaks at just (39) on Sunday morning, which is pretty darn weak. For a surfer, this is a wait-and-see situation at best. The water temp is 84°, and the anomaly is +0.7°, so it’s basically normal for this time of year – not a factor here.

The first part of the second week, around Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, is more of the same poor, small-swell pattern. The standouts, if you can call them that, are Wednesday morning, August 26th, and Thursday morning, August 27th. The swell is still a weak 2 ft, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore flow from the SW and WSW. This will clean the surface right up, making it glassy. But don’t be fooled, the surf itself is barely breaking. For a beginner, maybe you could find a knee-high roller, but there is no power.

We get a real tease on Friday morning, August 28th. The swell drops to a pathetic 1 ft, but the wind goes completely glassy. The sea surface will look like a mirror. It sounds nice, but there is absolutely nothing to ride. The energy reading is a bare minimum (5). This is a whole lot of nothing.

From Friday afternoon onwards, it’s a write-off. The swell gets even smaller, down to 0.7 ft, and all the way to the end of the forecast on September 2nd, the wind is back to a stiff cross-onshore. The surf is useless. The energy numbers are in the single digits and low teens. With the fresh winds in the first days of September making it lumpy, this is a kite-surfing breeze, not a surfing swell.

Verdict: There are no good options in this 16-day window for Condos. The tide is low and the ocean is flat. It’s one of those blank runs that happens, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it. For now, leave the board in the car.

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.
