Port Aransas
Edit SpotAbout
Nice fun waves.
Atmosphere:
Good and friendly
Additional Info:
Port Aransas can have turquoise blue water and has several spots to surf. The long jetty at the very north end of Port Aransas is good on NE swells as it can break the wind chop. The Horace Caldwell Pier has good sandbars and can be surfed on either side with a nice bowl section on the South side of the Pier. Port A can hold well overhead surf on the outside during large storm swells, if you can make it out.
