READING THE SEA…

Is it worth a session at Galveston?

At 0.7 m it's smallsmall, gentle surf — ideal for beginners and longboards. The swell period is on the shorter side, so expect choppier, weaker surf than the height alone might imply. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 29.6°C — balmy.
