Wading Bird Island

Post by dead wait »

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do any wading around Bird Island there just to the north of San Louis Pass. Is it safe to wade. Are the currents bad there. Any info. would be helpful. Thanks.

I haven't been around all parts of the island but the west side of it has a strong current pushing out. If you do brave it, wear a PFD even if you're out of the yak. It goes from shallow to deep like a cliff drop. People have drowned because they've stepped off the ledge and once the water starts taking you, you're basically going for a ride into the gulf.
