The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer for the Gulf side of things.
Honestly, mate, it's been a grim stretch of weather for us. The wind has been a nightmare, just constantly cross-on or onshore, making a mess of everything. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. We're looking at July 27th through to, well, almost the end of the first week of August with nothing but "poor surf conditions" day after day. That's a solid ten-day stretch of chop and lumps, not worth paddling out for.
Then, finally, we get a tiny glimmer. On Sunday morning, August 2nd, the wind drops right out to glassy conditions. The water is a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell is a small 4ft out of the SSE, but with a 5-second period, so it's a bit of a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is only 82, so it's weak, but that glassy surface will make it look a million times better than anything else we've seen. You'll find me at Corpus Christi that morning. The swell direction is from the SSE, right in its optimum SE window, so it'll wrap in okay. It's a breakwater, so it's a forgiving wave for a beginner, but it's rated as "inconsistent," so expect to wait for the sets. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so there might be a few others with the same idea.
After that fleeting moment of glory? Right back to the cross-on mess for the rest of the 16-day window. The surf quality just doesn't get there. The swell does pick up a bit of energy on August 11th, hitting 146 in the combined energy (moderate), but it's still 4ft from the SE with a 6-second period and the wind is back onshore, ruining it. For a beach and breakwater setup, with that onshore wind, honestly, it's more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle folk.
So, there's one real stand-out: the glassy morning on Sunday, August 2nd. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the cleanest wave we've seen in a fortnight. The rest of the window is a lot of looking at the forecast and hoping for a change.
Rusty.

Information about the Corpus Christi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Corpus Christi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Corpus Christi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Corpus Christi 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 (Corpus Christi) 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 Corpus Christi 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.
