The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local surf scene. Feels like we're in a bit of a dry spell, and honestly, it's a tough one to call. Let's get straight into it.
Right now, the ocean is just flat and ugly. We're looking at a long stretch with nothing worthwhile on the cards. From Monday afternoon, the 27th of July, right through until at least Tuesday the 11th of August, the forecast is a real drag. Every single day shows "poor surf conditions" with waves barely reaching around 3 ft to 4 ft at best, but all that bump and chop from cross-onshore winds will make it a messy, frustrating paddle. The period is short, around 5 to 6 seconds, so there's no real power behind it. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, so it's all just a bit of a wash.
The only spot we've got any data for is Condos. It's a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, but it's exposed to the swell and the winds are blowing straight across it almost the whole time. The water temperature is sitting at a pretty warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you'll be comfortable while you're sitting there waiting for a closeout. The crowds are sometimes an issue, but with waves this average, I doubt many will be out.
There is a tiny glimmer on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. The wind swings light and cross, with only 3 mph from the SSW. It's not perfect, but it's the calmest we'll see. The swell is still only 3 ft with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 62, so the waves will be small and soft. For a beginner who just wants to get wet, it might be the only option, but don't expect anything to get excited about.
As for Thursday the 6th of August, we get a hint of offshore wind from the ESE, but the swell is a pathetic 3 ft with a 7-second period and 63 energy. It's better than the rest, but it's still a poor surf day. The energy is just too low to push anything decent through.
So, bottom line: there's no standout session here. We're in a full-on lull. If you absolutely have to get in the water, the Sunday morning window is your best bet, but manage your expectations. It's just one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, so don't lose hope, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
