Surf condition report 5/29 Surfside to SLP

[Moonpie]

Just drove down to SLP fromSurfside to check surf conditions.

In the Surfside jetty pocket was was semi-clean greenish. Not a lot of weed in the surf.
The surf itself was moderate to rough. Wadeable but you're really gonna earn it.

The farther toward SLP I went the WORSE the water condition became.

At cell tower/old access #5 the surf was rough to very rough, the color of chocolate milk with enormous amounts of weed in the waves.
Offshore about 300yds water was very nice dark green.
It was like that all the way down to the Car Bodies.

SLP itself looked better on Brazoria County side but was still off color. Galveston side was nice clear green.

Cold Pass was okay,mostly green, slight off color.
X-mas looked pretty good actually.
Arcadia Reef looked good too.
Drum was still off color to brown.

Sounds like the pocket is the place to be...probably try to fish it Saturday...

Thanks for the recon MP.
With all the runoff at the MOB I will be looking for better surf for a while.

Based on Moonpie's report, maybe I should change my plan for the AM and fish the pocket as opposed to Peregrine Condos. I have never actually fished the pocket. How hard is it for a clumsy, old, hungover, fat man (before sunup) to get down those rocks between the road and surf?

It's not hard at all.
Park where I can see you on the surfhouse cam.

You should look into being a meteorologist since they never help. Except for Chita Johnson. Thanks, MP.

Shutout, park along the beachfront road between the two abandoned houses on the beach. There is a dedicated parking lane there all along the road. Its real easy to step onto the sand there and on down to the water. Easy-peasy.
If you go down past the abandoned house closest to the jetty you'll have to climb down the rocks.
Or you could go all the way down to the beach there right by the jetty itself.

NOTE: The water in between the jetties was mud. Oyster Creek is flooding out and going out and down the Intercoastal and out thru the jetties.

[SUPER SPOOK]

hows it looking?

[Moonpie]

Took a quick look on my way to work about an hour ago.
Right there in Surfside the surf was rough. You're gonna earn them fischies today.
Couldn't see color because of darkness.
Tide was up and still coming in.
Wind was from W to WSW. Very light breeze. Just a breath.
