Bolivar is east of Galveston, not all the way down to Freeport or Surfside. But you can take the Bluewater Highway

that runs parallel to Surfside Beach from Surfside to San Luis Pass and take the long toll bridge over to Galveston. We also go up 2004 from Lake Jackson to Santa Fe TX to Galveston.
Freeport did pretty well, just mostly trees and branches down. The sign in front of Freeport HS fell over but it fell just to the ground, not onto anything.
Just got recorded phone call message from Lake Jackson mayor. Water is ok. Pecan Lakes has sporadic electricity, rest of town has none. Sewer down due to no electricity. No stores or restaurants or gas stations open.
Reports of grocery stores broken into already in Clute. I guess Looter Guy is there already. 
Still no phone service as far away as Conroe, 40 miles from Houston.
I would love to get in contact with husband's and my family. I live in about 40 miles north of Memphis, Tenn. and we have had 50 MPH winds. Trees are cracking like we were in the middle of an ice storm.
Ike is far flung.
Freeport is not on a barrier island, but is a map point of reference for many who might not know where Surfside is.
I expect to see barrier island breaching and structural damage, consistent with post storm imagery from Bolivar Peninsula, extending from Surf City, Texas, to the coastline near Lake Charles, Louisiana.
All those islands, (and probably intervening low coastline not protected by barrier islands), with the exception of downtown Galveston and High Island, are similar heigth ASL, similar geological structure, and all were subject to similar surge and wind levels.
The post storm imagery of Bolivar Peninsula represents the most likely current state of most or all of the above referenced coastline. No guarantees, but that is currently the most rational projection, in my opinion.
