Port Aransas, Texas may be known for its fishing and beaches, but when the boats can't get out fishing, then it is time to go surfing.  There are many local surf spots around Port Aransas, but the one spot you can almost always catch a wave is Horace Caldwell Pier.  Horace Caldwell Pier is located inside the city limits down Beach Road.  Some other  surf spots to check out are Bob Hall Pier, Packery Channel and Fish Pass, which can all be found on the beach on the way to Corpus Christi.  Most days, the surf will not be too crowded, but when surfing gets good, word travels quickly.
