general information

South Padre island holds the best surfing spots in Texas and where you most likely to feel real power in the waves. A good example are the spots around Port Mansfield Jetties. Between the Jetties, a wave sometimes breaks on sand shoals that form between dredges. Normally better for long boarders, but on a big east to northeast swell it push through a few solid waves. Very isolated and access by 4WD on the beach or boat, so bring everything you need.
