Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Galveston-61st Street Pier in Texas is an exposed beach/pier break with quite reliable surf, especially during the hurricane season. It performs best when a southeast swell combines with offshore winds from the north-northwest. The surf here is mainly driven by local windswells rather than distant groundswells. The beach offers both lefts and rights and works well at all stages of the tide. It can get crowded at times. Surfers should be cautious of rips and submerged obstacles. The best time for consistent, clean waves is during Winter, with February being the most reliable month.
