Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baldwin Beach Park over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down the outlook for Baldwin Beach Park. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day forecast is a tough one for us paddle surfers. There isn't a single window where the stars align for a good session. That cross-shore and cross-onshore wind is a constant problem, and the surf quality is marked as "poor" for the whole run.
For the first week, from Sunday, July 12th through Saturday, July 25th, you can pretty much forget it. Swell heights are between 3 ft and 6 ft, but the periods are short, 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbling. The combined energy stays low to moderate (128 to 432). And that wind from the ENE or E at 12 to 16 mph just messes everything up with chop. For a reef and point that needs a NNE swell, this ENE wind and swell is a bad match.
Water temp is a comfortable 79°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The only thing worth noting is right at the end of the run, on Sunday, July 27th. We see a long-period groundswell – 15 seconds from the east – and the combined energy jumps way up to 943. But the wave height is only 4 ft, and that cross-onshore wind from the NE at 9 mph still means choppy conditions. It's a real gamble, described as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." No standout days here, folks.
Honestly, with the wind being so persistent, this looks like a better spot for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the swell is up.
Hang tight and hope the forecast changes. I'm Rusty.

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