Baggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Baggies over the next couple of weeks.

First up, there's a bit of a gap before we get anything decent. The next few days are a write-off with messy onshore winds and lumpy surf, so don't bother paddling out until later in the period.

The real story starts to build from around Friday the 18th of September. The swell fills in from the SSE at 12ft, with a long period of 12 seconds, giving that real groundswell punch. The combined energy hits 3670 (moderate to strong wave energy) – that's got some serious grunt. The wind is light and cross-off, so the surface will be clean. This is the standout window. But be warned, with a size over 8ft, it's only for experienced surfers. This kind of long-period swell can race down the line, so Baggies, being a point break, should handle it beautifully, offering long, powerful walls. The offshore wind is from the NW, which is a major positive for clean, groomed faces. Later that afternoon, the swell drops to 10ft and the wind goes cross-shore, which will bring in a bit of chop, but it's still a good session.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual to report there.

The morning of Saturday the 19th of September is still worth a look, with a 8ft SSE swell at 12 seconds and light cross-on wind. The energy is still strong at 2119 (moderate to strong), but a few ripples might creep in.

After that, it gets messy again. The wind swings onshore for Sunday and Monday, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The best bet is to hold out for that Friday the 18th of September. It's a long-range call, so it's promising but not locked in, but on paper it's a cracker. If you're an experienced surfer, get that date in the diary.

Rusty.
