Surf: General: The border between the city of Port Aransas and the city of Corpus Christi is situated south of Fish Pass, just north of the J.P. Luby Surf Park. The Surf Park was, at one time, a destination for Texas surfers, but a hurricane destroyed the pier, turning it into a secondary destination. Despite losing the pier, J.P. Luby isn't completely devoid of waves. The sandbars sometimes align themselves to provide more consistent, hollow surf when Texas receives groundswell or when passing fronts glass off the wind-driven swell. Tides: Medium Size: Waist to head high Wind: N, NW or W with swell Swell: S, SE, E Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Drift sessions are the call with consistently strong longshore currents. Spot Rating: Better than the beach breaks up north. Access: Easy, park on the beach. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Packed on land, manageable in the water. Local Vibe: Positive. Environment: Relatively clean. Hazards: Spring breakers. Season: Late summer/fall; late winter to mid-spring
