The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking for Freeport Pier. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, really. There’s no proper swell to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find something, but don’t expect anything worth writing home about.
Let’s run through it. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to Friday the 14th of August, it’s all tiny, weak slop. The combined energy is sitting in the weak category, mostly between 15 and 58 (weak energy), with a brief flicker of 139 (moderate energy) on Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon, but don't get your hopes up. The swell heights are lucky to touch 3 ft, the period is short – 4 to 7 seconds – so it’s all wind-slop, not real groundswell. Most days the wind is cross, cross-on, or onshore, chopping things up. There are a couple of glassy moments – Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon goes glassy, and Saturday the 8th of August morning is glassy as well – but with only 1 ft to 2 ft of short-period swell, it’s barely rideable. Best you could hope for is a fun little wave on a longboard, but it’s not consistent.
Honestly, there’s no standout. No break to highlight. The only silver lining is that Freeport Pier is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the south-east, which is what’s coming, but it's just not enough energy. For a beginner, some of those glassy mornings with 2 ft might be okay for a practice session, but for anyone wanting a proper wave, this is a no-go.
For the whole 16 days, the water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
That’s the ugly truth of it. Forecasts can change, but right now, take a break.
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.
