The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Maui's Baldwin Beach Park. This is a reef and point setup, exposed to the north-northeast, and it's a consistent spot for beginners, but we have a flat spell to get through first.
Water temp is sitting at a very comfortable 80°F, which is right on the money for this time of year. No surprises there.
The first week is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. From Thursday the 20th right through to the end of August, we're looking at poor surf conditions with a persistent cross-shore wind. The swell is small and weak, with combined energy barely cracking 100 (118) early on. It's a mess of cross-chop. From Friday the 23rd, the wind gets up to a fresh breeze at 18 mph, and the surf gets lumpy. Not worth paddling out for. On Thursday the 27th, check out the afternoon: a tiny 2 ft swell but with a 16-second period, giving a deceptive energy reading of 229. It's a tease, but the wind is still cross-shore and messy.
Things finally start to look up on Friday the 28th of August. We get a solid groundswell building in with a 15-second period and a big jump in energy to 692. The swell is 4 ft from the east, but it's still a moderate cross-shore breeze. The call is "marginal," but for the patient surfer, the long period should offer some push. The best wave of the whole forecast, without a doubt, comes on Thursday the 3rd of September. That morning, the wind goes glassy, dead calm from the north at 3 mph, with a clean 4 ft swell from the east-northeast at 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 508, and the call is "expect very good surf conditions." This is the standout session. The afternoon holds that glassy condition too, so you could get a solid day in.
After that, we slide back into a cross-shore wind and mediocre conditions for the final few days of the forecast. The long-range promise of Thursday the 3rd is the real highlight, but remember, it's a ways out, so keep an eye on it.
This is Rusty, signing off.
