The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about it: this outlook for the Freeport Channel is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’re looking at a full run of flat, weak conditions with near-zero wave energy.
Right from Monday the 31st through to Tuesday the 15th of September, every single session is rated as poor. The swell is tiny, barely cracking 1ft for most of it, and the period is short and weak – mostly around 4 to 6 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. The combined swell energy stays weak, barely hitting double digits for most days, only bumping up to a meagre 74 or 100 on the 11th and 12th, but even then the wind is blowing straight onshore at 12 mph, so it’s just messy, blown-out junk. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°, about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it on a wave.
Forget the paddle. If you’re a kite surfer, those onshore winds and the choppy, open fetch across the beach/pier setup might get you a session, but for anyone looking to surf, this is a long, dull blank run. It’s just one of those spells where the area goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.

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.
