The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let’s be straight – the next 16 days at Baduska are mostly a write-off. Nothing here is going to get your heart pumping.
We start off on September 15th with tiny, knee-high stuff at best, around 0.8m (3ft) from the East, with a scrappy cross-onshore breeze at 15 km/h. Combined energy is weak (86). Just bumpy and bad.
By Friday the 18th, we see a pulse to 1.5m (5ft) from the SE, but it’s only 6 seconds of period, so it’s fat and sloppy. The wind is still cross-shore, giving a moderate 300 energy reading, but the quality is poor.
Saturday the 19th is similar: 1.5m to 1.6m (5ft) of short-period ESE swell, rain, and cross-onshore winds. Energy climbs to 251, but the session would be a fight.
The only flicker of hope is Tuesday afternoon, September 24th. Swell holds at 1.2m (4ft) from the East with a longer 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 610 – strong! But that wind is still cross-onshore from the NE at 15 km/h, and the break is exposed to ESE, so the direction’s a little off. Crowds can happen here too. It’s still only a “marginal” call.
The last week of September has the biggest waves, with 1.5m to 1.8m (5 to 6ft) from the NE, but the period is short (6-7 seconds), and the wind just won’t play ball. Even on the 29th, when the wind drops to 5 km/h and goes cross, the swell is still too short to shape up proper.
Bottom line: No standouts. The wind and swell angles just aren’t making friends at Baduska. Better luck next time.
Rusty.

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