I've fished in in the surf on west beach when you could stand in waist deep water and clearly see your feet. Also seen it so clear in Port A where you could stand in chest deep water and see your feet.
Not a usual occurrence, all depends on the currents.
Now if we could just get Louisiana to suck a little more then maybe the Mississippi would stop depositing all its dirt in our water.
I'd say the clear tides down near SLP where you can clearly see your feet in waist-deep water are pretty common. Not an everyday thing but probably 3-4 days every month.
Clarity like in the videos shown is pretty common on PINS but very rare in Galveston. Like maybe once every 5 years or so.
Down around PA and points south it's more common to the point that the visibility is good enough to spearfish the PA jetties on a regular basis. And the farther south you go the better the clarity and more regular the super clear water.
These were taken on PINS (couldn't get hooked up though):
These are the South Padre jetties:
