Freeport Pier

📍 Local Knowledge

Freeport Pier in Texas is an exposed beach/pier break with quite reliable surf, especially during the hurricane season. It performs best when a southeast swell combines with offshore winds from the northwest. The waves are mostly generated by local windswells rather than distant groundswells. The beach break offers both lefts and rights and works well at all tide stages. It can get crowded at times. Surfers should beware of rips, sharks, and jellyfish. The best time for consistent, clean waves is during Winter, with January being the most reliable month.
