The Lowdown
Alright, truth time – the next 16 days are a total bust for Freeport Channel. This spot is inconsistent even when it's good, and the forecast is all poor surf from now through August 3rd. Swell is tiny – 1ft to 4ft, with short, weak periods mostly under 8 seconds, and the energy never tops 80 (weak). Wind is either onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, so it's gonna be choppy and ugly. Water temp is warm at 85° with a normal anomaly, but that's it. The break is advanced, sheltered, and needs east swell – we're getting south and south-southwest pulses that don't fit. Crowds are only occasional, but there's nothing to ride. This kind of dry spell is typical for Freeport Channel – it's just how it goes. Don't bother suiting up. 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.
