Matagorda is Texas's premier surf destination where the Colorado River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Deep offshore waters meet shallow sandbars to produce powerful waves and a long left point break near the river mouth. Fast, explosive beach breaks at the jetties can pound over shallow areas and are best suited to advanced surfers.
