The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat and ugly stretch ahead. The data shows a long, long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. We are looking at a solid two weeks of poor surf conditions. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until the end of the month.
The only break on offer is Condos. It’s a beginner spot that's fairly consistent, so it *can* hold swell, but the wind is just not playing ball. For the entire first week and a half, it's a constant cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the SSE and SE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s gonna make a mess of any small waves that try to show up. Swell heights stay pathetically small, between 2 ft and 4 ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 7 seconds. The energy is weak, mostly in the double digits (53 to 155) until the last couple days, and the conditions are just described as 'poor' across the board.
The first glimmer of something a little different comes late in the game. On Wednesday the 29th of July, during the afternoon, we see the swell tick up a notch to 4 ft from the SSE, with a slightly better 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 132 (moderate energy). But that cross-onshore wind is still howling at 16 mph, so it’s still gonna be a lumpy, choppy mess. It's not a standout by any stretch, just the least bad option in a very bleak forecast.
Then things drop right back off. For the 30th of July, Thursday morning, we are back to 3 ft and weak energy again.
So, if you absolutely *have* to get wet, your best bet is that Wednesday afternoon on the 29th at Condos. But don't get your hopes up. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is spot on for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze. For now, I’d say give it a miss unless you’re just keen for a float. This is shaping up to be a long, quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty, out.

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.
