Surf: General: Drive farther south from the Meacom's Pier and you will undoubtedly find A-frames. Don't get too excited. The name A-Frames is merely for navigational purposes on land, as there is a preponderance of A-framed houses in the vicinity.

Out front and in the lineup, there's not too much going on most of the time. A-Frames' greatest asset is that it offers a stretch of open beach, with your pick of the litter from whatever you can find out there. No one's going to hassle you, and if you happen to have impeccable timing or just good luck and the waves are fun, you're going to get a peak to yourself. Tides: Medium Size: Waist to slightly overhead Wind: N, NW Swell: S, SE Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Drift sessions are the call with consistently strong longshore currents.

Environment: Proximity to Houston shipping channel and runoff from Galveston equals often not the best water quality. Hazards: Isolation. Season: Late summer/fall; late winter to mid-spring
