Baggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Baggies.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty grim start. Saturday and Sunday are a write-off – strong winds, messy conditions. You’d be wasting your time. Monday's not much better either. Don’t bother.

Now, the one true standout in this whole 16-day window is Wednesday the 26th of August. That morning is looking like a magic window. Swell’s gonna be a solid 5ft from the south, and with a super long 17-second period, that’s some proper groundswell energy. The wave energy is strong, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves at this point break. It’s a bit much for beginners at that size, but for any intermediate or above, it’s going to be special. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 7ft, but a light cross-onshore breeze will put a few ripples on it. Still a good day, but that morning is the pick.

The rest of the first week into the second week is a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, nothing else comes close to that Wednesday. Thursday and Friday the 27th and 28th have some size, but a strong cross-shore wind from the northeast will make it lumpy and messy. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are the same story – plenty of swell but chewed up by the wind.

Into the second week, things get more uncertain. There’s a promising window on the morning of Wednesday the 3rd of September. We’ve got an 8ft swell from the northeast, which is a bit beefy, but the wind is light and onshore. The wave energy is strong, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly. It’s a marginal call, but for the brave, there could be some fun if you find a peak.

The morning of Saturday the 5th of September also looks interesting. A 7ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, light cross-shore wind, and strong energy. That’s a solid option, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast.

So, to sum it up: the best surf by a long shot is Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. The glassy conditions and that long-period south swell are going to make Baggies look like a dream. If you can only get in the water once, that’s your session. The rest of the period is mostly average to poor, with the 3rd and 5th of September being the only other ones worth a look.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
