J.P. Luby Surf Park Surf Guide
The border between the city of Port Aransas and the city of Corpus Christi is situated south of Fish Pass, just north of the J.P. Luby Surf Park. The Surf Park was, at one time, a destination for Texas surfers, but a hurricane destroyed the pier, turning it into a secondary destination. Despite losing the pier, J.P. Luby isn't completely devoid of waves. The sandbars sometimes align themselves to provide more consistent, hollow surf when Texas receives groundswell or when passing fronts glass off the wind-driven swell.
