Houston to 288 lake jackson/freeport then drive for about 50 min. Then get on 332 drive intill you see the exit for surfside. Drive on that road untill you get to the light at the bottom of the bridge, across the street from diamond shamrock. Turn right go down about four streets then go left. You will probably see a bunch of surfers hanging out.find a place to park, but don't on the right side of the road or you will get towed.
this spot is fun to go hang out at. the people are real friendly, but if you are friendly to them.
Overview
Atmosphere
fun spot. if it is big it can be rictor. really fun on longboard when it is about thigh to waist high and very clean. whenever it is a east swell go to matagorda. IT IS WORTH THE TRIP.if it is waist high im surfside it will be chest high plus in matagorda.

we went down to surfside because some groundswell was forecasted because of a tropical storm in the caribbean. I thought surfside would catch this swell better because of the angle it was coming. Man was i right, we got there and there were som More...

Surfside sucks for shortboards, its a mushburger wave. When it gets big and you cant go to Gorda, its just fun to drop in on huge sets. I really choose quintana over surfside for longboarding also...longer rides at Quin.
