The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real with this one. It’s a tough stretch for Freeport Pier. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the data shows a long run of poor surf right from the start. We’re looking at a gap of about a week and a half with basically nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are tiny, with weak energy and messy wind. Things stay flat and choppy for a long time.
The water is sitting at 87°F at the beginning, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice when you’re just floating around.
The first glimmer of something comes Friday, September 11th, in the morning. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a short-period 6 seconds and the wind is a stiff 19 mph cross-onshore. The combined energy climbs to 114 (moderate), but it’s lumpy and messy. This is not a standout for surfing. The afternoon is a bit bigger at 4ft and energy jumps to 221 (strong), but again, the wind is cross-onshore. It’s not clean, and for a beach/pier setup, it’s going to be a battle.
The best of a bad bunch, and I mean the only thing that might be worth a look, is Monday, September 14th, in the morning. We get a 5ft swell from the SE, period still a short 7 seconds, but the wind goes light and onshore from the SE at 6 mph. The combined energy is a solid 314 (strong), so there’s some push. The conditions are just “unknown” but with light onshore, it might be the most rideable of the whole period. It’s still nothing to write home about and the onshore wind won’t help the shape. It’s a beginner-friendly sized swell, but it won’t be pretty.
Honestly, for the first 10 days, you’re looking at ankle-to-knee high slop. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is weak. The setup at Freeport Pier is a beach/pier, and with the wind and small swell, it’s going to be a kite-surfing kind of scene for a while. There are no real standouts here. Surfers might be better off waiting for the next forecast update.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
