Horace Caldwell Pier
Edit SpotAbout
Real friendly surf experiance.
Watch out for rays.
Atmosphere:
a favorite of locals in the Port Aransas, Rockport and Aransas Pass areas.
A faveorite of Victoria surfers.
Additional Info:
To the left of the pier, if you are facing the Gulf, the bottem is a bit more shelly and pushes into the pier. The waves hold up better, their bigger and faster (usually) than the right.
Not much crowd to the right.
Can get decent swells at the end of the pier, but good breaks all the way in.
