The Lowdown
Well, grab a coffee and pull up a chair, because we’ve got a bit of a dry spell ahead at Condos. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, there isn’t a single standout session worth paddling out for. Every single forecast slot comes up as poor surf conditions, and that’s a tough pill to swallow for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent.
The trouble starts right from Tuesday, July 28th. That afternoon we’ve got a weak 3ft swell bumping in from the SSE at a short, weak 5-second period – combined wave energy is a meager 61. With a fresh 30 km/h SE wind blowing cross-onshore, it’s lumpy, choppy, and just messy. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F with a +0.5°F anomaly, so pretty average for the time of year, not that you’d want to be in it much with that wind.
From there, it’s a real grind. The whole of Wednesday the 29th through to the first week of August is a write-off. Swell drops to between 2ft and 3ft, periods stay short and weak, and it’s a constant battle of moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds. The combined energy barely climbs above 60 most of the time, and often dips into the teens – that’s about as weak as it gets. A few mornings, like Sunday, August 2nd and Monday, August 3rd, the wind eases to a light breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft with a short period, so it’s just not pushing enough to form any real wave face. You’ll get little wind ripples at best.
We finally see a glimmer of something around the second week. On August 11th (Tuesday) into the 12th, the swell picks up to 4ft to 4ft from the SE, with periods reaching 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy even pushes into three-digit territory – 126 on Tuesday morning – which indicates moderate energy. But the wind is still relentless, coming in from the SSE or SE at 25 to 30 km/h, and it’s cross-onshore every time. That keeps everything lumpy and chopped up. It goes from poor to just not surfable. With that much wind and the swell direction being a poor match for this spot, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfers than for anyone holding a paddle.
So, there are no solid waves on the table for Condos in this 16-day stretch. Sometimes you get a blank run like this here, and understandably, it’s frustrating. But the break is fairly consistent in general, so this should be a temporary lull – forecasts can shift, so fingers crossed the next window brings something cleaner.

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.
