Packery Channel surf guide

Packery Channel is a small, shallow draft channel located on the southern edge of J.P. Luby Park, connecting the Laguna Madre to the Gulf of Mexico. This spot features a long jetty that helps protect the surf from the consistent side shore currents. The area tends to attract surfers of all skill levels due to its accessibility and variety of wave conditions. Be prepared for a bustling beach atmosphere, especially during crowded college spring breaks.

The waves at Packery Channel can be fun, with sizes ranging from waist high (about 1 meter) to head high (around 2 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the Southeast, and the spot also handles swells from the NorthEast and South. The waves generally break over sand and can come in right directions. You’ll find that it works well on low, mid, and high tides, with the best surf occurring when the wind is coming from the Northwest. It’s a great place for beginners, and all types of boards like shortboards, funboards, longboards, and fish can be used. It’s worth noting that the crowd factor here can be pretty high, so be ready to share the waves.

Accessing Packery Channel is easy; you can park right on the beach. Just make sure to grab a parking permit since there’s enforcement in the area. The beach is generally clean, but the local vibe can be mixed, as it tends to be crowded with lots of beginners. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy some surf, Packery Channel can offer some fun peaks and is typically a nice escape from longshore currents.
