Mansfield Jetty Access
  This is a hard core surf trip (for texas) Got Padre Island seashore, hit the beach and take a right-put the truck in 4WD-Get ready for a bumpy, hell ride down-65 miles south-all beach. Sand gets softer and more wash-outs the farther south you go. bring all supplies, water, extra gas, etc. No one will be there. 4WD a must.

Additional Surfing Infos
 This is one of the best spots in Texas. the north jetty has a slight curve which creates a cove like beach, and blocks the south prevailing wind and creates long powerful waves. The other side of the jetty (pasr the channel) can hold big NE swells and can get really good and big-super long lefts. But the right is the best, can actually look like a point break.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Definately worth the trip!
  General This spot is awesome, but it is a crazy drive down there, bring all supplies and extra fins or another board just in case. If there is swell, it will be bigger and better in Mansfield. Guaranteed!

There are no waves here. It is all just a farce. Illegal Aliens will rob you if you go there. There are devils there at night as well. Also a tight group of expat locals that will hassle you in the lineup. Dont go there if you value your life. No g

Dallas
Hey Dallas my friend and I surfed with you and your lady about a month ago or so. I remember you said that you were suprised to see heads out when you got there. I was suprised to not see you there right after Ike passed lots of fun waves to be had and a close encounter with a pretty sizable shark. Our paths will cross again for that place will be frequented by Chris and I since he got his boat running.

This spot is really good actually
I used to surf this spot very consistantly few years back. I have seen this place GO OFF numerous times. Back before all those large hurricanes fucked it all up, on a good solid SE swell with more east in it would light up that break. Caught that place many times WELL overhead and peeling for 200+ yards, easy mellow outside drop to a top to bottom drainer on the inside. We chased many storm swells down there in my 4x4 silver Jeep. The guy Mike you mentioned below, I think he may be the guy that owns Wind and Wave in CC if Im thinking right. This place is hardcore and the trip is even more. You gotta time the tides right or its a 4 hour drive. This spot is very fickle and have gotten skunked a few times, but those gem days def made up for it. But if the surf sucks, BEST fishing on the gulf coast, used to catch 3-4 foot tarpon and 50"+ bull reds there. Oh yeah, they dont call that beach "bull shark beach" for nothing, check the spray paint sign on the beached barrel about 45 miles down! haha
