General
The premier surf spot in Texas. The water is deeper as the continental shelf drops off very close to shore. The waves have more power and fetch. The best place in Texas to receive true groundswell and long range, long wave period groundswell. Can be excellent. Live in So. Cal., but the lack of size is made up by the lack of crowds and localism.
