The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it is flat as a pancake and will be for quite a while. We’ve got nothing but tiny, weak dribbles for days. The water temp at Freeport Pier is sitting at a warm 87°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Honestly, from Monday the 24th of August all the way through to the end of the month, the waves barely scrape 2ft and the period is a short, weak 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just not enough power to push you along. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, adding chop to an already sad situation. It’s a real bummer, but the swell energy (6 to 24) is weak, and it shows.
There’s a slight glimmer as we head into early September. On the morning of Monday the 7th of September, we see the combined swell energy creep up to 30 – still low, but better – and the swell hits 3ft from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds. That’s still a short, weak peak, but the wind turns cross-off from the SSW, cleaning things up a bit. It’s barely surfable for a beginner on a longboard, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Tuesday the 8th of September morning also looks clean with a cross-off wind from the west and a small 2ft ESE swell, though the period is only 6 seconds. The swell energy is still low (29).
Honestly, there isn’t a true standout session in this entire 16-day window. The surf just isn't here. The breaks are exposed, but the swell is too weak and the period too short to do anything with. If you are desperate for a paddle and have a foamie, the mornings of September 7th and 8th at Freeport Pier are your only real shot, but don’t expect much. Otherwise, save your energy.

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.
