The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Condos over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—this one’s a tough stretch. Right off the bat, for the entire 16-day window, there’s nothing that’s really gonna get the heart pumping. From Saturday the 12th of September right through to the 27th, the surf report is a long, flat, and bumpy ride.
We’ve got tiny waves the whole way. The combined swell energy barely gets above 94 (that's weak) for the first couple of days, and after that it just drops into the low teens and single digits, which means the ocean’s practically asleep. The first decent attempt at a wave comes in around 4 ft on the Saturday morning, but it's coming from the SSE with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The wind is howling from the S at 18 mph, putting that tiny swell in a fresh cross-onshore mess. It’s lumpy and pretty much unsurfable for anyone. That pattern just keeps repeating—small, short-period slop from the SSE or SE, with a moderate breeze chopping it up day after day.
Now, there’s only one break in the mix here—Condos. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you were hoping for something mellow and clean, you’re out of luck right now. The optimum swell direction for Condos is SE and the swell does come from that direction a fair bit, but when it arrives, it’s small (1 ft to 3 ft) and the period is short (4 to 7 seconds). The energy just isn't there to make it work.
You do get one little glimmer right at the end—on Saturday the 26th, the wind goes glassy in the morning, with the swell from the SE at 1 ft. The combined energy is only 17, so it's weak, but that glassy condition means the surface might be pretty as a pond. Still, those waves won't be breaking with any push. It’s more of a paddle and float than a proper surf. After that, Sunday the 27th rolls in with a light cross-onshore breeze and even less swell.
Honestly, for a spot that's "fairly consistent," this is a poor run. For beginners or anyone just wanting to sit on a board, maybe you can get out on that glassy morning, but for any real wave riding? Nope. Kite surfers might eye up those breezy, small-wave days, but for a paddle surfer this is a write-off.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
