The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Freeport Pier.
Honestly, the outlook over the whole 16-day window is a real bummer. The waves are tiny, the conditions are messy, and there’s just nothing here to get excited about for a paddle surfer. The combined swell energy is consistently weak, sitting in the low two-digit range for most of the period, barely ever cracking 50 (maximum we see is 54). It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. The water temperature is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
Starting from the 10th of September, right through the middle of the month, we’ve got swell heights between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, mostly coming from the S or SE with periods of only 4 to 6 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell. The wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, blowing 9 to 12 mph, creating choppy, poor-quality surf. Every single entry is marked as poor surf conditions. Not a single standout in there.
There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 19th of September where the wind goes glassy (NW at 3 mph), but the swell is only 2 ft at 6 seconds. It would be clean, but the wave energy is still nothing (combined energy of 32). The morning of the 20th of September shows a light offshore wind from the NNW at 3 mph, with clean conditions, but again, it’s only 1 ft of weak SE swell (combined energy of 10). Not enough to push you around.
Then we have a big gap of nothingness from the 20th through the 23rd, with swell dropping to 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft. The 24th of September brings a tiny pulse, the best of the whole period, with swell reaching 3 ft from the E at 6 seconds and combined energy hitting 48 in the morning. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’s clean. But 3 ft at 6 seconds is barely a wave, and by the afternoon the onshore wind from the E at 16 mph ruins it. That’s it.
Given the persistence of onshore wind and the tiny, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the forecast. There is nothing here that qualifies as a standout option for a surfer.
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.
