    corpus christi should be far enough away from gustav, that it wont be in the dangerous category.

    Surfline?? Brown nosing time!

    I lived in so-cal for most my life, so as far as checkin surf reports I would call the closest buisness next to HB. I live in Tx now and I obviously don't have that option now!! I have to say this website is a hell of a lot better than surfline. I know paying for a membership helps in some ways, but u guys have actually given good reports! Surfline has decent HB reports....how hard is that though! Anyways, thanks for making life a lot easier! Made it down to C.C see how it go's!

    Truth!!!

    This site is far more accurate than Surfline, Wavewatch, Wet Sand, etc.
    Its all about Swellinfo for me.

    Glad you made it to Corpus... I'll see you out there.

    I'll be on this.

    In Matagorda, we had knee high to occasional thigh high from Friday afternoon through Sunday, but Monday, the sets were chest to shoulder with the better sets easily a foot overhead.
    I'll post a couple of pictures later. I only got a few (too busy paddling and getting worked over) pics, but I'll share a couple of the better ones.

    This isn't scary unless you're used to knee high Texas surf.
