Assholes is a surf spot that gets its name from the general disdain some surfers feel towards the beachfront homeowners in the area. Located at the east end of Surfside Beach, this spot is accessed via a beach road known to local Texas surfers. It's a decent place if you're looking to shortboard in Surfside, and asking locals for directions is a good idea to find the best approach.

The surf here can be pretty reliable, especially with south-southeast to south swells. You can expect waves anywhere from waist to slightly overhead (around 1 to 2.1 meters). The bottom is sandy, which makes for easier paddling, but be ready for some longshore currents as drift sessions are common. The waves break left and right, suited for all surfing abilities from beginners to experts. The best conditions hit when the wind blows from the west or northwest, and you'll find it works well from low to mid tide all the way up to mid-high tides.

Accessing the spot is pretty easy; you can park right on the beach, and the crowds tend to be sparse, making it a chill spot to catch some waves. The local vibe is generally positive, and it's wise to check the conditions, especially during late summer, fall, late winter, and mid-spring when the surf is typically more consistent. Whether you ride a shortboard, funboard, or fish, there’s likely something for everyone here if the conditions align properly.
