The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest from the get-go: this is a tough stretch for anyone looking to get a wave in around the Freeport area. The next two weeks are looking pretty grim for proper surf.
We're looking at a long, extended period of tiny surf and poor conditions. Right from the start, the forecast is flat. The first few days of September are a write-off with swell under three feet and messy onshore winds. You'll see a bit of a pulse mid-month, but the wave energy is still weak, barely cracking 55 (moderate energy) on the best days, and the winds are mostly cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. This isn't a setup for a good paddle.
The best chance to see a clean wave comes much later, around the 19th to the 23rd of September, when the wind finally swings offshore. But by then, the swell is absolutely tiny—only 0.7ft to 1ft from the ESE. The wave energy is very weak, reading just 7 or 8 during that period. It's glassy and clean, but you'd be lucky to find a ripple. For a sheltered spot like Freeport Channel, these conditions are more about a quiet morning paddle than any real surfing.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there's nothing I'd call a standout. The surf is just too small and the conditions are too often average. If you're desperate, keep an eye on the 23rd of September with the offshore wind and a tiny 0.7ft ESE swell, but don't expect much. It's a long blank run, which isn't abnormal for this area when the swell windows are closed.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.

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.
