The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. We've got a pretty flat and quiet run ahead for Freeport Pier. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta say, there's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. The data shows every single slot is marked as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero, so there's no standout day to get excited about.
Right from the start, Wednesday the 26th, we're looking at tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell from the south with a short, weak period of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy is next to nothing, just 6 to 8 (weak energy). Afternoon winds get up to 12 mph from the south, making for a choppy mess. The water temperature is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's slightly interesting.
As we move through the rest of the week and into the next, it's the same story. We see a few mornings with a light breeze and clean conditions, like Thursday the 27th morning with a cross-offshore wind, but even then the swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the south with a 4-second period and energy of just 12. There's nothing to ride. Sunday the 30th morning gives us a short window of glassy conditions with a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the southeast, but it's practically flat.
The whole first week is a total write-off. The swell never gets above 2 ft, periods stay below 6 seconds, and the combined energy rarely breaks 25 (weak energy). We get a bit of a bump around the 9th and 10th of September, with swell heights finally hitting 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSE and energy climbing to 91 and 139 (moderate energy), but the period is still short at 6 seconds and the winds are onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the quality poor. The spot is fairly consistent, which is a bit of a tease, but it's just not happening this time.
Honestly, for a beach and pier setup with this kind of weak, onshore wind-driven chop, it's looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of them. Keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, things can change.
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.
