The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Freeport Pier. I’ve looked at the next couple of weeks and I gotta be straight with you: it’s a flat spell. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window. The numbers just don’t lie.
Right out of the gate, Friday the 4th of September, we’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the south with a weak 5-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 13, and it’s cross-onshore, with a risk of thunderstorms. Not a single wave worth dropping in on. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing happening.
The whole first week is a bust. Every day from the 4th through the 10th, the swell stays under 2ft, with periods mostly around 4 or 5 seconds. The energy readings are all in the single digits or low teens. Even the mornings with glassy conditions, like Saturday the 5th and Tuesday the 8th, are completely flat. It’s painful to watch.
We do get a couple of glassy mornings later on, like the 11th and 12th, but again, the swell is just a pathetic 1ft. The longest period we see all week is a 9-second pulse on the 12th, but the swell height is only 0.3ft, so it’s a non-event.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From the 13th to the 19th of September, the story is the same: tiny waves, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and energy readings that barely crack 30. The biggest swell we see all period is a 3ft from the south-southeast on the morning of the 18th, but with a 5-second period and a combined energy of only 36, it’s weak, messy, and blown out by a moderate cross-shore wind. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
For a beach break like Freeport Pier, with this little swell and poor wind, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There’s just nothing here for us. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell window shuts down. We’re stuck waiting for a change. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

Information about the Freeport Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Freeport Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Freeport Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Freeport Pier 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 Pier) 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 Pier 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.
Freeport Pier is 19 km (12 miles) from Lake Jackson. If you plan a vacation in Texas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lake Jackson. Lake Jackson has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
