Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Packery Channel in Texas is an exposed breakwater break with quite reliable surf, especially during the hurricane season. It performs best when a southeast swell combines with offshore winds from the west-northwest. Most of the surf is generated by local windswells rather than distant groundswells, and the break offers both left and right-hand waves. Surfers should watch out for rips, undertow, localism, and sharks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is during Winter, with January being the most reliable month.
