Corpus Christi, TX — Texas Gulf Coast
On the Gulf side of North Padre Island, the wave-riding counterpart to the flat Laguna Madre bay spots nearby (like Bird Island Basin) — real Gulf swell instead of standing-depth flats, a good next step for a wing foiler ready to ride waves. Stay well clear of the pier pilings, and watch for swimmers and fishing lines off the pier, especially in summer.
