The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same read on things. Over this 16-day stretch, the surf options are slim to none. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with only one real moment that’s worth getting wet for.
The only break on the menu is Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly spot with fairly consistent exposure, and the optimum swell direction from the SE lines up with what little swell we get. But for the first two weeks, the waves are tiny – mostly under 3 ft – with short periods and messy cross-onshore winds that trash any chance of clean surf. The combined wave energy is weak, only hitting the low hundreds on a few occasions, but it’s all blown out.
The standout is Wednesday morning, September 16th. You’ll get clear skies, glassy conditions with no wind, and surf around 4 ft from the SE, with a 6-second period. It’s not a big swell, but that perfect glass will make it the best you’ll see in this whole forecast. The combined energy is 75, modest but clean. The water temp is right around average for the season.
The rest of the forecast? A long, frustrating gap. Around September 10th through the 14th, the swell does push over 5 ft (1.5m) and the energy climbs into the 200s (204 to 216), but the wind is blowing hard from the SSE at 25-30 mph, cross-onshore all the way. That makes it lumpy and choppy – more of a kite-surfing kind of day than a paddle-surfing one. No waves get above 8 ft, so the expert-only stuff doesn’t apply here.
Crowds at Condos can pop up sometimes, but with this much poor surf in a row, it’ll be mostly quiet. Blank runs like this are normal for the area. Don’t lose hope – forecasts can shift. If that 16th morning stays glassy, it’s your shot.
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.
