SURF CONDITIONS

On a sunny day with a southeast sea breeze blowing across the Gulf of Mexico, a choppy surf makes prime conditions along the South Texas Coast for novices and surf addicts alike.

Local's Tip

Surf is best out on North Packery Beach, or J.P. Luby, near the Zahn Rd entrance at Mile Marker 207 along the jetty. Bring your board and be ready to catch some of the best waves on the Texas coast.
