The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Baldwin Beach Park. I’ve looked through the whole 16-day window and, to be honest, it’s a rough run. There’s a long, quiet start with nothing worth paddling out for.
We don’t really get a sniff of anything decent until Friday the 11th of September. That’s a good two weeks of waiting. The swells that roll through before then are all short-period windswell, mostly from the ENE, with a cross-shore wind messing up any chance of clean, rideable surf. The wave energy climbs a bit, hitting moderate levels early on, but the wind and short period keep things junked up.
The water sits at a pleasant 80°F, which is pretty average for the time of year.
The real standout window is on Friday the 11th of September. The combined swell energy is moderate, around the 300s (322 in the morning, 295 in the arvo). The swell height sits at 4ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period swell, but the key here is the wind. We get light offshore breezes from the SSE in the morning and from the S in the afternoon. That will clean this place up nicely.
Baldwin (Big Island) is a reef and point setup, and it’s very consistent, so it breaks regularly. It’s exposed to the NNE but the swell is coming from the NE, so it should wrap in okay. The crowds are often here, so expect company, but for the only decent session in the whole outlook, it’ll be worth it. The swell is small enough, at 4ft, to be fine for beginners and most surfers alike.
It’s a frustrating wait, but that Friday has the potential to be a beautiful, clean surf day. Keep your eyes on that date. Conditions can always change, but as it stands, that’s your best bet.
Rusty.
