The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Bakio.
The next week and a half or so is a real mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell pulses, but the wind is going to be a problem a lot of the time. Don't expect much action until the morning of Sunday the 13th. That’s a full day of waiting from now before we see something worthwhile.
Sunday the 13th is the true standout of this whole outlook. The morning is where it’s at. We’re looking at clean, glassy conditions with a light ESE breeze. Swell is a playful 2 ft out of the NW with a nice 13-second period, giving it some real grunt. The wave energy is strong at 547. Bakio will be the spot to be. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°.
After that, things get messy. The wind swings onshore for most of the afternoons and into the following week, chopping up the waves. There’s a short window on Monday morning the 14th with cross-offshore winds and a clean 4 ft NW swell (period 12s, energy 379), which could offer a couple of fun ones if you can get out early.
We then hit a lull. The wind is poor and the swell drops off through Tuesday and Wednesday. The next real glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday the 19th. This is a bigger pulse with a 6 ft NW swell, but the wave period is a shorter 7 seconds and it’s a bit onshore. The energy is very strong at 1129, but the quality will be marginal. It’s going to be a bit of a battle.
Sunday the 20th morning looks promising, with flat calm glassy conditions and a clean 4 ft NW swell (period 11s, energy 343). That could be a lovely, uncrowded session if the forecast holds.
The following week has a few more promising calls, especially Tuesday the 22nd morning with a clean 5 ft NW swell and cross-offshore winds (energy 828), and then Thursday the 24th afternoon looks glassy with a nice 4 ft NNW swell (period 13s, energy 536). That Thursday arvo is a second standout period – a proper clean-up set.
Overall, the best wave quality will be Sunday morning the 13th, with the calm conditions on the 20th and the glassy session on the 24th also offering clean fun. Just keep an eye on those wind shifts.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.

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.
