The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up over the next couple of weeks for Condos. Gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch.
We’re looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. The whole run from Monday the 24th of August right through to Saturday the 6th of September is a write-off for any decent surf. We’re talking tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, with a weak combined swell energy that never really gets going—mostly sitting between 11 and 41—and the period is short, mostly 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just windswell chop, not proper surf. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the water temp is average for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
The only tiny glimmer in that first week and a half is a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. The wind goes glassy, and the water is clean. But the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft from the SE with a 5-second period and weak energy (24). It’s surfable for a beginner on a foamie, but there's no power or push to it. For a seasoned surfer, it’s not worth paddling out.
Now, things finally start to change around the 7th of September. On Monday the 7th, we see a pulse of swell arrive. The morning brings 4 ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 132—finally some moderate juice in the water. That afternoon it eases a touch to 4 ft, but still hanging onto 120 in energy. Problem is, the wind is blowing a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. It’s not clean, and the period is still short, so the wave shape is average. It’s going to be a messy, crumbly wall, not the crisp peak you’d want. For a beach break like Condos, that onshore breeze and short period mean it’ll be a bit of a battle.
The standout here, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, the energy is moderate, and if you’re desperate, you might find a few lumpy runners. But honestly, with that wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s nothing in this 16-day window that I’d call a true standout. It’s a long, flat run with one brief, messy bump at the end. Take the glassy morning on the 2nd if you’re teaching a beginner and just want a splash, or brace yourself for a choppy session on the 7th if you’re hard up for a wave. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag and wait for the next forecast.
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.
