The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this in feet.
First off, Freshwater east is a very sheltered beach and reef spot. It rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a bit special. Right now, we’ve got a slow start. The first few days are a bust – poor conditions and weak energy. Friday the 4th has some size with 7ft from the WSW, but there’s 30 km/h winds blowing it out. Not worth it.
Things switch on Monday the 7th of September. A solid, long-period groundswell comes in at 7ft from the WSW, with a 13-second interval and strong energy at 1568. The wind is moderate offshore from the WNW, so the morning should be glassy and clean. This is the one to aim for. Water temp is about normal for the time of year.
Tuesday the 8th also has a good pulse – 8ft from the WSW, with 30 km/h offshore winds. The period drops to 8 seconds, but the energy is still solid at 812. That’s a good backup if Monday doesn’t work out.
From Wednesday the 9th through Sunday the 13th, it drops off badly. Small waves and low energy – nothing to get excited about.
Then Monday the 14th of September brings another spike: 8ft from the WSW in the afternoon, with moderate offshore wind and energy at 804. It’s clean and rideable, but not as polished as the 7th. After that, it fades to nothing, with flat conditions and glassy days through to the 19th.
Bottom line: Monday the 7th morning is the standout – big, clean, and powerful. Tuesday the 8th morning is your next best bet. The rest is mostly flat.
Rusty.

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