The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for this stretch is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of waiting around for the right moment. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s a genuine window of clean surf coming.
We start with a long, frustrating gap. From Saturday the 25th right through to Tuesday the 28th, the surf is just poor. The wind is hammering it from the ENE, cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the waves are chopped up and messy. The swell energy is moderate to strong, reading between 434 and 3560, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. Tuesday afternoon sees a 10.0ft swell from the ENE with a 13-second period, but it’s blowing onshore at 16 mph – that’s a big, ugly mess. Not worth paddling out.
Then things change. On Wednesday the 29th, we get our standout window. The morning is the pick of the entire forecast. The wind swings around to a light SE breeze at just 3 mph, creating a clean cross-offshore flow. The reef and point setup at Baldwin Beach Park will be clean. We’ve got a 6.0ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the combined swell energy is 694 – a moderate, solid push. This is the one to circle. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no major surprises there. The afternoon drops off a little, still clean but the swell period drops to 9 seconds and the energy fades, making it more marginal.
After that, the windows close again. From Thursday the 30th through to the end of the run, we’re back into poor or marginal conditions. The wind picks up again from the east or ENE, mostly 16-19 mph, and the surf is choppy, lumpy, and cross-shore. There are a few moments in the second week, like Tuesday the 4th of August and Wednesday the 5th, where the swell is around 5.0ft with a longer period, but the wind is still cross or cross-on, keeping the quality down. The energy readings are moderate but the wind just won’t cooperate.
So, the honest truth: the only real session worth chasing is Wednesday morning, the 29th. After that, it’s a long wait for something cleaner. The forecast can change, but for now, that’s the one.

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 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.
