lol...can't say I've ever traveled to TX for surf. One girl from there used to travel with me, though. We would hit CA and VA together. She could hold her own on a wave. Lost touch with her over the years. Prob some cams showing current conditions.
Met my first Texas surfer on my first trip into deep mainland Mex back in '80. Being from Califas, I didn't even know Tejas had waves lol. But the guy shredded and his Hispanic wife was hot, they were from So. Padre Island which probably gets the best surf in the state. There's some great pics of the place on the 'net if anyone is interested.
