Table - best surf conditions forecast for Freshwater east over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got coming up at Freshwater East. This spot is a sheltered beach and reef setup, and it doesn't break all that often, so we need the stars to align.
Right now, the water is a balmy 63°F, which is 4° warmer than what you'd normally expect for this time of year. That's a fair bit toastier than average.
To be honest with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. From Wednesday the 8th right through to the end of the week starting Monday the 21st, the wave energy is just too weak to get excited about. You're looking at combined swell energy readings mostly below 100, and often way down in the teens and twenties. There'll be tiny little waves here and there, but nothing that's going to get your heart racing. There's a small pulse on the 12th and 13th, but the wind is straight onshore, so it'll be choppy and messy.
After that long gap, there are a couple of windows where things clean up nicely, but the swell is still pretty small. On the morning of Thursday the 16th, we get a gentle offshore breeze from the WNW, with the wind being 9 mph and the wave comment saying "gentle offshore and clean". The swell will be small at 1ft from the SW. The following day, Friday the 17th, keeps the offshore wind going from the WNW at 12 mph, making it "moderate offshore and clean" with similar tiny 1ft SW swell. Good for a longboard and a sunset paddle, but not much push.
Now, if you can wait, there's a real standout. It's a long way out, but keep an eye on Thursday the 23rd of July. The forecast picks up a solid SW swell, pushing up to 6ft on the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, with a period of 7-8 seconds. The combined swell energy shoots up to 302 and then a whopping 631, so there'll be proper power in the water. The wind is cross-offshore from the SW to WSW, which will keep it clean. This is a big one for Freshwater East, but it's over two weeks away, so don't book the time off just yet—long-range stuff is promising but less certain.
Rusty out.

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.
