Hey, Rusty here again. Let me tell ya, Freshwater East is dead in the water for the next 16 days. There’s no surf worth mentioning—every session’s marked as poor conditions, and the swell’s barely a ripple. The combined wave energy maxes out at 90 on July 14th, but that’s still weak, and the whole stretch is a drought for a spot that’s already rarely breaking.
We kick off Tuesday July 7th with a tiny 1ft swell from the WSW at 9 seconds, offshore WNW wind at 6 mph in the morning. Water temp’s 62°, a touch warmer than normal. Wednesday and Thursday are glassy, but the swell’s only 1ft—flat. Friday July 10th shows 2ft from the west with a combined energy of 65–68, still junk. Saturday morning has onshore wind and 1ft, and from Sunday July 12th, the wind gets messy—cross-onshore or onshore—with swell trying to hit 2ft on Monday July 13th, then 4ft on Tuesday July 14th from the east at a short 5 seconds. But strong ESE winds at 25 mph ruin it.
There’s a flicker of hope late in the run: Thursday July 16th afternoon with a gentle offshore from the NW and 2ft, and Saturday July 18th afternoon with WNW offshore at 3 mph and a clean 1ft. Sunday July 19th has clean 1ft with a cross-offshore, and Tuesday July 22nd afternoon shows a clean 0.3ft with a 15-second groundswell from the SW—long period, but way too small. For a spot this inconsistent, a blank run like this is normal. Even the kite folks wouldn’t bother. Stick a pin in it and check back later.
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.
