The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Freights over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn for this point break. We’ve got a good run of clean, offshore wind on the cards, especially for mornings, but the swell is just really struggling to get its act together for the first week. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. You won’t be needing a thick suit just yet.
The standout session, the one you really want to circle on the calendar, is shaping up for Sunday the 6th of September in the afternoon. The wind swings offshore, and we get a solid bump in energy, with the combined swell energy hitting (251). The swell comes from the east at 5ft with an 8-second period. It’s not huge, but it’s the best-looking, cleanest surf of the whole outlook. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a real treat.
Other than that, the following week sees the swell size push up over the 5ft mark by Tuesday the 8th, reaching up to 7ft to 7ft in the mornings around the 9th and 10th, with strong offshore winds. The energy gets into the moderate to strong range (478-656). The problem is the period stays short, around 7 to 8 seconds, and the conditions are described as marginal. For a point break like Freights, that short-period stuff doesn’t always wrap in cleanly, and those bigger days will be a real handful for a beginner-friendly spot. Look for late afternoons when the wind is offshore for the cleanest, but still tricky, surf.
Overall, if you’re after a surf, wait for that Sunday afternoon window. It’s the one true gem in here. The rest of the run is either weak, too blown out, or just a bit messy.
Stay salty,
Rusty.

Information about the Freights Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Freights provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Freights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Freights 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 (Freights) 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 Freights 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.
