It's choppy all the time, but like Havoc said, when it's all you have, you are thankfull that you get a wave. I think to myself all the time, what would I do everyday if I didn't live near waves. Considering I go surfing about everyday, I think I would go insane.
Galveston isn't the most beautiful place in the world, but it's the most beautiful place that we have to surf, but if we travel down the coast of Texas the waves and the beaches get better the farther South we go.
