I've got a recessed outlet box on the outside of my house. To be more specific the outlet (when removing the weatherproof cover assembly) is flush with the stucco. I need to decommission this as an outlet and run conduit along the wall around 6ft to the left of it.

I was thinking of using this:

and simply putting a right angle flex line attachment into one of the threads and carry along.

Example (forget the 10awg): https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-6-ft-10-Gauge-3-Conductor-Non-metallic-Liquidtight-A-C-Whip/3616544

I found this: Adapting an outside wall outlet to suface mount conduit?

But I'm not sure that is a good approach considering the leakage potential.

Thoughts or better methods would be appreciated? Is what I plan to do a good option?

I think the rectangular box extension is better. It seems to me to be better to just come straight out of the old receptacle parallel to the wall. Are there even fittings to adapt to that angle of the one you are picturing?
