Port Mansfield Jetties is one of Texas's more consistent and unique surf spots, located along the Lower Laguna Madre coast where the Port Mansfield Channel cuts through to the Gulf of Mexico. The jetties funnel and focus incoming Gulf swells, producing organized, punchy peaks that are far more predictable than many other Texas breaks. Fall tropical swell season brings the best energy to this remote South Texas spot, rewarding surfers willing to make the long drive through the brush country.
