Port O'Connor Jetties is a sheltered rivermouth break formed by the jetties that protect Matagorda Bay's entrance on the Texas Gulf Coast. The sand bottom and jetty-induced swell refraction create hollow, peeling waves that work best during fall swells and moderate wind conditions. This is a quieter alternative to crowded spots, offering fun shoulder-season waves with relatively easy access for intermediate surfers.
