Surfside

I usually surf CC, Pt. A, and S. Padre. During Easter, I am going to Surfside to visit my wife's family. Can anyone tell me where to surf up there? I have never even set foot in the town before.

used to own a beach house there. Dont really remember the surf conditions to much. Just get ready for some brown water.

I dont know how much is left of surfside though. I know our old beach house was brought to the ground in the last hurri...

Growing up in the 80s, we surfed at the Octagon...but that was removed several years ago and I'm sure after the latest hurricane the landscape is even more different than I remember.

Basically, if you were to drive from the bridge straight onto the beach you could look to your right and see a very long jetty. We surfed between those spots. The Octagon used to be closer to the water than all the other houses and was the central spot. On really big days w/ a current coming from the south, we'd be closer to the jetties to get more protection, sometimes jumping off them (not recommended).

I have great memories spending winters and summers camping on the stretch of beach from San Luis Pass down to Surfside growing up, but I'm definitely glad to call PortA my home break now.

You'll definitely want a longer board...ENJOY...
