Pundakit (San Antonio Bay)

Pundakit is a sandy beach-break surf destination in San Antonio Bay, known for consistent wave production near the river mouth. The setup creates multiple peaks along a long stretch of coastline, with waves capable of working both left and right. The wave range typically starts working at less than 1 m and can hold up to around 2.5 m+, with generally good wave quality. Normal rides are commonly in the 50 to 150 m range, and on better days longer runs are possible (up to about 150 to 300 m). The overall feel is beach-break with peeling waves, and the best tide guidance is broadly flexible: all tides can work, with rising often preferred for more consistent power. Conditions are strongly influenced by season. The Southwest monsoon period (roughly June to October) is described as a peak season for larger surf and wetter weather, so you should expect stronger swells and a higher likelihood of heavy, closeout behavior when swells are extreme. Wind patterns vary, and while specific wind reliability can be low, east and northeast winds are noted as helping create offshore conditions for cleaner faces. Safety at Pundakit centers on managing water movement near the river mouth. Rip currents and river-mouth currents are possible, particularly during larger swells, and scattered rocks (plus potential rain-related debris) add risk. There are no lifeguards described; plan accordingly and keep to etiquette around the fishing areas, where boat priority in launch zones is common.
