Baboon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let's see what's cookin' at Baboon Point. We've got a mixed bag of a sixteen-day window ahead, but there are some proper gems to be excited about.

Initially, the surf is a bit quiet, but it picks up nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.

The first real standout is the Thursday morning, July 16th session. We're looking at a solid 6 ft swell from the WSW, with a long 13-second period pushing a strong wave energy of 1264. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers—it's got some grunt to it, but it'll be lined up with that long period. Expect it to be a bit of a paddle out, but the waves will be worth it.

Another morning that has me stoked is Tuesday, July 21st. It's glassy calm, with another solid 5 ft groundswell from the SW, running on a very long 16-second period. That's a lot of energy (1203) and those waves will have some serious push. The winds are dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. Perfect for a point break like this.

Then, look out for Thursday, July 23rd morning. The swell is up to 7 ft from the WSW, with a 13-second period and a whopping energy of 1606. The wind is a clean cross-offshore. This is expert territory, folks. It's going to be powerful and hollow. If you're on it, you're in for a treat.

July 24th Friday morning is another glassy one, with a 6 ft WSW swell. It's a touch smaller, but still plenty of juice (1372) and the conditions will be pristine.

There's also a promising call for July 26th Sunday morning. The swell has switched to a 7 ft W swell, with glassy conditions. That's a good combo for a reef break, giving it a different angle.

Now, a heads-up. The 25th July Saturday and the 29th July Wednesday morning see the swell pumping up to 10 ft. That's a lot of water (over 3000 energy). The forecast notes it might be too big for this spot. For the average surfer, it'll be a washing machine. For the elite, it could be a session of a lifetime, but it's a serious call.

The afternoons are generally a write-off due to onshore winds, so stick to the early slots. The crowds at Baboon Point can show up, so you might have some company on those peak days.

For the second week, the trend holds up with solid, clean mornings. The 27th Monday morning and 28th Tuesday morning look good for experienced surfers with clean, glassy-to-light cross-off conditions and solid 6 ft to 7 ft swells from the W and WSW. The long-range outlook for the 23rd and 24th is promising, but like all far-off forecasts, keep an eye on it as it gets closer.
