Bakio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Bakio’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

First off, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a real stretch of nothin’ much for the first few days. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are a complete write-off with onshore winds and messy, poor surf. The combined energy is weak to moderate, but the wind is just killin’ it. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have some tiny, glassy moments in the mornings with waves around 2ft from the NW, but the energy is gutless. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s hardly a paddle.

Alright, here’s the standout. Sunday the 13th of September is the real deal. We’ve got a solid 5ft groundswell from the NW, with a period of 13 seconds, pumping some serious energy into the bay. The morning is glassy, absolutely no wind, so Bakio is going to be clean and lined up. That’s a proper session. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The swell is a bit over 5ft, so it’s gettin’ a little punchy for total beginners, but it’s still a great size for most. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so get in early.

Monday the 14th morning is another good one. It’s a bit smaller at 4ft, but still a nice long-period NW groundswell (12 seconds) with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate. Expect good, clean waves. The afternoon gets choppy again.

After that, the middle of the week from the 15th to the 18th is a write-off again. Tiny, onshore slop. Not worth a look.

Looking ahead, Saturday the 19th morning shows some promise. The wind goes glassy again, and we’ll see a 4ft NW swell with a short period (8 seconds) but the energy is there. It’s a good call, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. The afternoon gets a bit of wind.

Sunday the 20th morning is another real highlight. Glassy calm, 4ft NW swell at 10 seconds, with moderate energy. Perfect for a long session. The water is still average temp.

Then we hit another dry spell until Thursday the 24th of September. The morning shows a 3ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is moderate. That’s a nice little payoff at the end of the forecast, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, your best bets are the mornings of Sunday the 13th and Sunday the 20th. The 13th is the big winner with that long-period groundswell and glass. Get it while it’s clean.

Rusty.
