The Lowdown
Alright, I'm looking at Freeport Pier, and it's a real bummer of a stretch. For the next sixteen days, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. It's a complete blank run, which isn't unheard of around here, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.
We kick off on Friday, July 24th, with a tiny 3ft swell from the south, but it's a short, choppy 6-second period. The wind is a cross-on from the south at 12 mph, just ruining it. The energy is weak (65), and it's all just poor surf conditions. That's the whole story for the first week and into the second. The swell stays pathetic, mostly between 1ft and 4ft, all from the south or south-southeast, and the period never gets above 7 seconds, so it's all windswill, no grunt.
The wind is the main problem. It's almost always a cross-on or onshore breeze, out of the south or southwest, blowing 9 to 16 mph. That just makes for a choppy, bumpy, messy surface. There are a few mornings where it goes a bit more cross-shore, but it's still not clean.
There's a little blip in the combined energy on August 6th, hitting 186, which is moderate energy. But the swell is still only 4ft from the south-southeast with a 7-second period, and the wind is cross-on. It's a tease, but it's still not surfable.
For a beginner spot like Freeport Pier, you'd want to wait for a clean swell over 2ft, but with these winds, it's just not happening. Honestly, with the persistent onshore wind and tiny, weak swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. There's no day in this whole run where I'd tell you to get wet. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, it's a hard pass.

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.
