Alright, let’s be straight with you. It’s a bit of a bummer looking at the next couple of weeks here at Freeport Pier. For a solid stretch, we just aren't seeing the kind of swell that gets the pulse racing.
The water’s sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off.
Right now and through the first week of July, we’re stuck with tiny, weak waves. From Thursday 2nd right through to Sunday 12th, it’s consistently small – ankle to knee high at best, with swell heights mostly sitting between 0.7ft and 2ft. The combined swell energy is almost laughably low, hanging around in the single digits to low 20s (like 8 to 34), meaning there's simply no power out there. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things bumpy and messy. There's nothing with enough shape to bother paddling out for.
Around Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th, we see a tiny glimmer of hope. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore in the mornings from the WSW, keeping the surface clean. But the swell is still pathetic – just 2ft to 2ft from the SSE with a period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy ticks up a bit (42 to 44), but that's still weak. Honestly, it might be the most rideable of the entire period, but it’s still not worth making the trip for unless you’re absolutely desperate for a flat day float session.
From the 15th through the 17th, it’s more of the same – tiny, weak swell between 2ft and 3ft, but the wind stays onshore and the energy only reaches a peak of 53 on the 16th afternoon. It’s a long run of essentially unsurfable conditions.
There is no standout break here. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any real surfing. It’s a run of flat, weak, and poorly shaped waves. For paddle surfers, there’s nothing to recommend. The wind and small lake-like conditions on these days might actually look more appealing to a kite surfer than someone with a surfboard. It just is what it is in this part of the world, sometimes.
This is 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.
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.
