"Surf... in Texas ???"

Yes much to the amazment of many visitors to South Padre Island we do have surf. Infact quite often we can have pretty good surf. Surf is the reason many of us live in this area today. Take a look around our surf section I think you'll get the idea :)

Surfing South Padre Island

South Padre Island has with out doubt the best surfing conditions on the Texas Gulf Coast. Our island runs North to South with the prevailing wind direction being Southeast\Sideshore the strong Gulf winds create swells that wrap around our Jetties give us some a good right break. Three sandbars running parallel with the beach provides different breaks dependent on swell size.
