The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a bit of a dry spell for Freeport Pier. The next couple of weeks are pretty grim for anything rideable. The swell is small, the wind is mostly junk, and the surf just isn’t gonna happen. You’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing from now through the 4th of August. That’s a long gap with no real recommendations.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast. On Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, we’ve got a little pulse of energy arriving. The combined swell energy is moderate (193), with a 4ft swell pushing in from the SSE. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s local windswell, not a groundswell. The big difference that morning is the wind is offshore from the SSE, which should clean things up nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Wednesday morning is your best bet. It’s still a low-energy swell, so don’t expect anything epic, but with clean conditions and those small waves, it’s a beginner-friendly option. Just be aware that the crowd situation can be a factor there at times, especially when it’s the only game in town.
Honestly, for the rest of this run, it’s a bust. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the swell is tiny. Hang tight, check back in a few days – forecasts can change.

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.
