Table - best surf conditions forecast for Freeport Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Freeport Pier.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's feeling a little bath-like already.
Right now and for the next couple of weeks, the news isn't great. The short story is we're looking at a long, flat run. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly on it or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. We're talking about a stretch from the 8th of July all the way through to the 23rd of July where every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. That's a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The best we see is a tiny bump around Sunday the 12th of July, with a swell height of 4ft from the SE, but it's pushing a weak energy and the period is a short 6 seconds. That's combined with a cross-onshore wind, so it's just not going to be any fun.
Later on, the morning of the 23rd of July offers a brief moment of clean conditions with some light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is down to 1ft from the SE. It's clean, but there's no wave to ride.
For a beginner-friendly spot like Freeport Pier, this is a total bust. Honestly, with the wind and the small, weak, short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just nothing for us wave riders.
Keep your expectations low and your board waxed for the next one.
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.
