Table - best surf conditions forecast for Freeport Channel over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’m gonna level with you—this forecast is a bummer. From now, starting Tuesday the 7th, all the way through Monday the 20th of July, it’s a nearly two-week stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is flat-lining, and when it does try to kick, the wind kills it. Wave energy stays low the entire time, with combined energies barely cracking 70 or 80 at best, most days stuck in the 20s, 30s, or 40s. That’s gutless stuff.
The only spot we’re talking about is Freeport Channel. It’s a beach-and-pier setup, sheltered and inconsistent—rarely breaks clean. It needs swell from the east to light up, but we’re getting nothing but weak, short-period junk from the south and southeast. Swell periods are only 4 to 7 seconds, so there’s no push, no shape—just wind slop and closeouts.
Water temp on Tuesday the 7th is 86°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit bath-like but nothing wild.
We get a couple of moments where conditions clean up—like Tuesday the 14th morning with a light offshore from the north, or the 21st of July morning turning glassy—but the swell is too small and the period too short to make it count. Every session is marked as “poor surf conditions.”
There’s no standout session in this whole window. Honestly, with the onshore winds and weak surf, this setup might look more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most afternoons.

Information about the Freeport Channel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Freeport Channel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Freeport Channel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Freeport Channel surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Freeport Channel) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Freeport Channel may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
