The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. This is a pretty grim outlook for Freeport Pier over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a flat stretch for anyone looking to get a wave. The water’s a warm 86°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is about the only thing that’s pleasant.
The forecast starts with a blank run. From Saturday, the 29th of August, through to the end of the first week, there’s just nothing. We’re looking at tiny swell heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft, all out of the SE, with periods mostly under 5 seconds, giving you weak, crumbly mush. The combined energy of all swells directed here is pitiful, barely over 10 (4-11). Winds are mostly cross-onshore or directly onshore, making for choppy, messy conditions. Any surf on offer is basically non-existent.
We do see a slight uptick around the 5th and 6th of September. The swell nudges up to 2 ft to 3 ft from the SE and ESE, with periods still short at 4-5 seconds. The combined energy climbs a bit, reaching 26 on the 5th afternoon and 24 on the 6th. The standout moment? Without a doubt, the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. It’s glassy, with a light WSW breeze at 3 mph, and the swell is 1 ft from the SE. It’s not going to be epic, but for a complete flat spell, a glassy, clean morning on a 1 ft wave is the best you’ll get. The rest of that weekend and into the following week stays marginal, with swell heights up to 3 ft from the SE and SSE, and periods finally reaching 6 seconds, but the energy stays weak (in the 20s to 60s). The winds are mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy.
Freeport Pier is a beach/pier break, exposed to the SE swell that matches the optimum swell direction, and it’s fairly consistent, but when the swell is this small, consistency doesn’t help. The waves are too weak to offer any real shape. For a beginner spot, the swell never gets above 3 ft, so it’s never too big, but it’s just not breaking with any push. Crowds are likely here, but with no surf, it won’t matter.
The second week, from the 9th to the 13th of September, looks much the same: tiny swell, poor quality, no real standouts. The highest combined energy we see is 68 on the 9th afternoon, but that’s with a 3 ft, 6-second SE swell and onshore wind. It’s a write-off. This is a tough period for Freeport Pier. 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.
