The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards. For this stretch of coast, we’re looking at a very quiet outlook. There's not much to get excited about, and honestly, the next fortnight or so is shaping up to be pretty flat.
Right from the start on Sunday the 23rd of August and running all the way through to Monday the 7th of September, the options are slim. We’re looking at a solid stretch where the surf just isn't cooperating. The small bits of swell that do show up are mostly from the SE with a short, weak period of just 4 to 6 seconds, and the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is tiny, barely breaking into double digits for most of it, and only creeping up to 80 to 83 on the 6th and 7th of September – which is still considered weak energy.
Even over the first weekend, the water temp is sitting around 85°F at Condos, with an anomaly of only 1°F, so it's pretty standard for this time of year. But the bigger issue is the lack of any real surf. The swell direction is from the SE, and the optimum for the spot is actually SE, so that part lines up, but the size is tiny – 1ft to 3ft at best – and the short period means the waves have no push.
We do have a day in the second week, around the 6th of September, where swell height gets to 4ft, but it's still a short period swell from the SE with a cross-onshore wind that will keep it choppy and sloppy. The combined energy hits 80, which is the best we'll see, but it's not enough to call a standout. It's still poor surf conditions across the board.
There's nothing that qualifies as a true standout in this forecast window. It's one of those blank runs where the area just goes to sleep. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a tiny knee-high wave at Condos (a beginner spot that is fairly consistent) early in the mornings on a couple of days, but the wind will likely be on it by the time you suit up. This is the kind of setup where it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent onshore wind.
Stay patient. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and the forecast can always change.

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.
