The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Freeport Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but honestly, there’s no real surf on the table right now, and it’s gonna stay that way for the long haul. Every single slot in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions, so don’t go rushing down there with your board just yet. The water’s running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86.4° on the Thursday morning, about 2° above the norm, so it’s pleasant if you just want a dip, but not for riding.
From Thursday the 20th of August all the way through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at tiny swell heights, mostly hovering around 1.3ft to 2.6ft with short, weak 4 to 5 second periods. The combined energy is almost always in the low double digits (between 8 and 31), so it’s barely a ripple. Winds are a mix of cross and cross-onshore, mostly from the south and southwest, keeping everything choppy and messy. Not a single standout morning or afternoon where it cleans up. For a beginner-friendly spot like Freeport Pier, it’s normally fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens.
Save the wax for another time, folks. The ocean’s takin’ a nap.

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.
