The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a tough stretch. We’ve got a long run of flat, messy conditions ahead, so patience is the name of the game.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There are no standout days, no windows of clean, rideable waves. The first real chance of anything doesn’t even come until the tail end of the period. The opening gap is huge, with nothing recommended from now until around the 18th of August. After that, the conditions are still poor.
For the first week and a half, Freeport Pier is looking at tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is very low, barely reaching double digits or low triple digits, like 10 (weak energy) up to 79 (weak energy). It’s all short-period, wind chop with periods of just 4 to 6 seconds. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, creating choppy, bumpy surfaces. Not worth paddling out for.
The only flicker of something different comes on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions, with a light SSW air and a period that stretches to 9 seconds. The swell is still tiny, just 1 ft from the SE. The water is a warm 85°F, which is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. While the glassy wind is a tease, the wave size is just too small to get excited about.
The rest of the second week is more of the same: small, weak swell with moderate onshore winds. The combined energy stays low, between 23 and 44 (weak energy). Honestly, with the constant onshore flow and the small, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, it's a blank run. This area tends to have these quiet spells, so it’s not a huge surprise.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don't rush down there.
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.
