Last year Surfer Magazine named their choices for the top 10 US surf towns. Here they are, and as you can see, South Padre, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, and Galveston are still US surfing’s best kept secrets. I saw the founder of Quicksilver by Bob Hall one time; even the insiders are keeping their lips sealed about the 8-12 foot waves, beach privacy, and warm water on the Texas gulf.

TOP 10 US SURF TOWNS:

1. Santa Cruz, CA
2. Haleiwa, HI
3. Encinitas, CA
4. Paia, HI
5. San Clemente, CA
6. Kill Devil Hills, NC
7. Malibu, CA
8. Montauk, NY
9. New Smyrna Beach, FL
10. Ocean City, NJ

Billy Blues takes the best surfing pictures for Galveston, for sure. Look at this wave from this morning, it peels so nicely.

This is really a tribute to a website that was called Surf Texas 365. It was one of my favorites and I linked to it from Texas Surfers until it disappeared. I was able to grab some of the photos and info off of the website, though, and I’m posting those here.

I got tired of hearing how there was no surf in Texas. So in 1999, I got myself a waterproof camera and set out to dispell the fallacy that there was no surf in Texas. Following you will find photos of my ventures up and down the Texas coast, capturing totally ridable surf ridden by surfers with as much stoke as you will find anywhere in the world. We may not get huge surf in Texas, but we get surf just the same. The surf we get simply makes us hungrier for more. Enjoy these photos and keep on surfing! Mahalo! -Dave Lilliott

Most of the pictures on the website weren’t able to be saved. I got everything I could.

This picture has to make you smile. I’m sure I’ve made this face many times on the water. It’s barely surfable out there but we’re still managing to have fun.

As the years go by, you learn to appreciate the lulls almost as much as you enjoy the swells.

Santa’s getting his stoke on before the big night tonight; I’m sure we’ll see him out there tomorrow morning after he’s delivered all those gifts, too.
