Fish Pass Jetties is a raw and underrated surf spot on Padre Island in Texas, where the jetties flanking the Fish Pass inlet channel waves and create more defined, rideable surf than the surrounding open beach. The rock jetties help focus energy from Gulf swells, producing punchy, hollow peaks that reward surfers willing to make the journey to this remote stretch of the Texas coast. Fall brings the most consistent swells from tropical systems and cold fronts, making it the prime season to score this spot.
