Visitor Reviews of Freeport Channel

Marty Jamieson from UNITED STATES writes:

My first wave @ surf side and the jetty was in 1964. Blaker boards of Houston told us about it. It has 3 sandbar breaks. Since the rivers of Texas carry soil, it is usually brown water. Averages are misleading and there were weekends of 2-4 foot. Sometimes storm energy created green water and glassy conditions.

We all had long boards, with guys like Bingo, George Glass, Don Green, Jeff Hutton, Randy Tamlyn, Jake DeBoe, mark Wheeler, Steve Smith logging weekend miles to enjoy the salt, sand, and suds.

We paddled across this freeport channel to surf the south side, mush to the consternation of the dutiful Coast Guard.

Now, the jetty is concrete topped and you walk out past the breaks and jump off. The addition of restrooms, parking and shower has cleaned up the area.

For short boarders it is ok. Long boards can be rented at Bingo's shop. He has a chapel with the walls covered in old boards.

It's clean, relaxing and close. Come visit!
