Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over at Freshwater East.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are lookin’ pretty flat and sad for this stretch. It’s a very sheltered spot, rarely breaks, and we’re in a real dry spell for any decent surf. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until the very end of the run, so we’re looking at a long gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Through the first week of July, it’s all tiny, weak waves. The energy is poor – we’re talkin’ combined swell energy of just 204 on Friday the 3rd, and that’s the high point for a while. It quickly drops into the 150s, 80s, and even into the 20s and teens. The swell is mostly 1.0 ft to 2 ft from the west, with a short, weak period around 8-10 seconds. The water temp is just average for this time of year.
There’s a little flicker of hope on Monday the 13th. We see a small pulse of 2 ft west swell at 11 seconds, buildin’ through the day. By Monday afternoon, the swell picks up a bit to 3 ft from the west at 12 seconds, and the wind turns offshore from the WNW – clean conditions with moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy climbs to 314, which is the strongest we’ll see. It’s still small waves, nothin’ for the big dogs, but for beginners this would be the cleanest and most fun the spot gets in this whole forecast. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have a friend or two.
Then Tuesday the 14th still has some life with gentle offshore wind and chest-high-ish swell from the WSW, but the energy fades through the week after that. By the 16th and 17th, it’s back to tiny waves with sloppy cross-onshore winds makin’ a mess.
No standout day worth braggin’ about. The best on offer is Monday afternoon, 13th July. Tiny 3 ft west swell, offshore wind, clean sets – that’s your window if you’re desperate. But honestly, this is a spot that just doesn’t fire often, and this run proves it. The setup looks more interesting for a kite on a few of the windier, choppy days than for a surfboard.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Freshwater east can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Freshwater east 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.
