The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next 16 days.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch. The swell is tiny and the wind is almost always working against us. We're looking at a long, flat spell with nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There are no recommendations, just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" from start to finish.
For the first surf break mentioned, Condos, the water is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first few days are a total bust. The swell is insignificant, with wave heights around 1ft to 2ft and periods of only 4 to 5 seconds. That's just wind chop, not real swell. The wind is a persistent cross-onshore from the SSE and SE, keeping everything messy and lumpy. There's no quality to be found.
As we move into the second week, the swell does build a little, but it's still poor. By the 12th of September, we start seeing chest-high waves at 4ft, but the period is still short at 5 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 19-22 mph cross-onshore. The surf is just a choppy, blown-out mess.
The best of a bad lot comes around the 15th and 16th of September. The swell height hits 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind also turns lighter and more favourable. On the 15th, it's a gentle onshore breeze, which is still not ideal but it's a step up. On the 16th, we get a brief window of cross-offshore wind from the N, which is described as "clean." That's the only time in the whole forecast period the conditions look half-decent, but it's still tiny at 3ft.
For the rest of the week, it's back to tiny, weak, onshore slop. The swell never gets above 3ft again.
There is nothing here that's a standout. The 16th of September afternoon is the only moment where the wind is clean, but the swell is just too small. If you're a beginner, the swell never gets above 4ft, so there's no danger from size, but the quality is so poor across the board it's hardly worth paddling out. For experts, the swell never gets near 8ft, so there's nothing to get you out of bed.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The consistent cross-onshore winds and small, choppy surf are perfect for playing on a board with a kite. For a pure surfer, this is a blank run. It's one of those periods where the forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I'd be finding something else to do.
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.
