The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta call it like I see it – this stretch is flat as a tack for paddle surfing. For the entire 16-day run, there’s not a single time I can point to and say, "that's the one." Every single reading comes in with a score of zero and marked as poor surf conditions. The whole thing's a bust. We’ve got a run of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for starting with Saturday the 18th. The only blip of swell energy comes right at the very end, but the wind just ruins it.
The only spot I’ve got to look at is Freeport Pier (Freeport-Pier), a beach and pier setup that's rated for beginners when it's working. But it’s just not happening. For the whole first week and into the next, from July 18th right through to July 31st, we’re looking at tiny surf. Heights barely crack 2 ft on the rare occasion, with the swell mostly coming from the SSE or SE. The period is short, around 4 to 6 seconds – just weak, wind-affected junk from the south. The wind is a constant problem, blowing cross-on from the S or SSE at 9 to 12 mph most days, making it choppy and lumpy. On the odd morning like July 20th, 21st, and 22nd, we get a bit of clean, cross-off wind from the WSW, but there’s literally no swell to use it. The wave energy is a joke, mostly single-digit values showing nothing's moving.
Now, as we push into the first week of August, there's a tease. On Saturday, August 1st, the swell picks up to 4 ft, but it’s still short-period (7-8 seconds) and coming from the SSE. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 178 and 187, which is promising as a number, but look at the wind – it’s still cross-on and cross-shore at 9-12 mph, so it’ll be a sloppy, choppy mess. Then on Sunday, August 2nd, the swell drops a bit to 4 ft with light cross-on wind, but that's still not making for a clean wave. The whole setup is more interesting for kite surfing than for us, with that persistent south wind and building, messy swell. So, no standout days, no hidden gems. It’s a full blank run for the area. I guess the good news? It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Stay patient.
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.
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.
