The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – right now, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the Freeport Pier area. The models are showing a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor surf from the start of the forecast right through to the end of the 16-day window. There’s no standout wave on offer, but let’s walk through what we’ve got.
Starting off on Wednesday the 5th of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the south, with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and it’s weak – the combined energy is only 16. The wind is a cross-on from the south at 9 mph, leaving the surface pretty choppy. Not worth paddling out for. That same pattern holds through Thursday and into Friday, with the swell barely nudging up to 2ft, but still with a short period. The wind states are mostly cross-on or onshore, so the quality is just not there.
The weekend brings a slight uptick on Sunday morning, the 9th, with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast, period at 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 39. Still poor surf conditions, though, and the wind is onshore. By Monday the 10th, we’re back to weak 2ft slop with cross-onshore winds. The pattern barely changes as we go through the second week. Tuesday the 11th drops to a tiny 1.0ft. The maximum energy we see across the whole period is 49 on Wednesday the 19th of August, with a 3ft swell and a 6-second period, but it’s still cross-on and the wave comment says poor. Nothing here is going to get a surfer out of bed.
Given the lack of any consistent swell and the persistent cross-onshore or onshore winds, there’s simply no good surf option in this 16-day window. The spot is a beach/pier setup, and with these conditions, it’s looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session. Keep an eye on it, though – forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay this quiet forever.
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.
