The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at the surf forecast for Bakio. The water's sitting at a balmy 72°F, which is a good couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like summer's hanging on.
The whole pattern's a bit messy to start, with a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind kicking up the surface. Monday morning the 14th might offer a brief window of clean 4ft surf from the NW with a 12-second period – the wind is light and cross-offshore, so it could get a bit of a look in. The energy's moderate, but it's the best of a average bunch in that first week.
The true standout is definitely Saturday morning, the 19th of September. We're looking at a solid 7ft of NW groundswell with a 14-second period – that's got some serious power behind it. The wind goes glassy, and for a spot like Bakio, that's going to be a thing of beauty. Now, that size is getting up there, so it's really for experienced surfers. But for the crew that can handle it, that Saturday morning is the pick of the whole run.
The following Monday morning, the 21st, also has excellent potential – another 6ft of NW swell at 13 seconds and clean cross-offshore winds. That's another solid session for experienced surfers.
Tuesday morning the 22nd is also worth a mention. There's 5ft of NW swell with a 12-second period and glassy conditions. It's shaping up as a very good session for those who are comfortable with that size.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of smaller swells and cross-shore winds, with a bit of a lull from the 24th through the 26th where the swell drops away and the wind turns onshore. A long-period NW swell shows up again on the 27th, but the onshore wind will mess it up.
Alright, I've given you the honest picture. Bakio can fire, and those mornings on the 19th and 21st are the times to clear your schedule.

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