The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight – right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. The surf is flat to tiny, and the conditions are pretty average. We’re looking at a long stretch of almost nothing through the first week, with the odd ripple but nothing rideable. The only break on the radar is Freeport Pier (United States), and it’s a beginner-friendly beach/pier setup that’s fairly consistent, but it’s not doing a thing for the next several days.
The water is sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a paddle won’t be cold.
From Monday 7th September right through to the end of the week, we’re stuck with wave heights under 1.0 ft. The wind is mostly light and cross-shore or onshore, with a few glassy moments early Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, but with swell this small, glassy doesn’t mean surfable – it means flat. The combined energy is barely registering, all under 10 (weak energy). It’s a big fat zero for surf.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th shows a tiny bump to 3 ft from the SSE, but the period is short – just 5 seconds – and the wind is onshore all day. That’s not going to produce anything worth paddling out for. The energy picks up a little to around 36 (still weak), but it’s messy and weak.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. From the 15th to the 22nd, we’re stuck in the 1.0 ft to 2 ft range, with short period windswell, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The only slight glimmer is on Thursday morning, 17th September, when we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and clean conditions, but with the swell at just 2 ft and a 5-second period, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. The crowd here is sometimes an issue, but honestly, nobody’s going to be out.
The rest of the run is more of the same – small, weak, and choppy. Even the glassy morning on Wednesday 16th September (2 ft, 6 seconds) won’t give you a wave worth the paddle.
Bottom line: There’s no standout, no best day, no real surf. If you’re in the area, leave the board at home and check the forecast again in a week. Sometimes it just goes flat like this, and this is one of those stretches.

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.
