Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for Baldwin Beach Park over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a rough patch. The whole 16-day window is filled with poor surf conditions – no real standout sessions in sight. This spot is a reef and point break, very consistent, exposed to swell, and it loves a NNE pulse. But the wind is stuck out of the east and east-northeast at 12–16 mph, cross or cross-on, so the surface is chopped and messy every day. The swell is short-period (7–8 s), mostly from the ENE, which doesn’t match the optimum direction. Water temp is 79 °F, right about average. So yeah, we’re looking at a flat and frustrating stretch.
Wednesday 8 July through Tuesday 21 July – all poor. Swell heights hover around 5 ft to 7 ft, but with that consistent cross-wind and short period, the waves are lumpy and unrideable. The combined energy stays moderate (344–521), but it’s wasted energy. Scores are zero across the board. No reason to paddle out.
Wednesday 22 July and Thursday 23 July – the swell drops to 3 ft–4 ft, still short period (13–17 s for the 21st and 22nd mornings, but even then the direction is off and the wind remains cross or cross-on). The energy spikes to 853 on the 21st morning (strong), but the period is 17 s – that’s a long groundswell, which can be tricky on a beach-break setup. More importantly, the wind still ruins it. Marginal at best, but honestly not worth a session.
Nothing here to recommend. The break is consistent, but the conditions are consistently poor. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, the 5–7 ft range might be okay in clean conditions, but these aren’t clean. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the 21st morning has a tiny window with a long-period groundswell and lighter wind (9 mph), but the cross wind still messes it up. Don’t hold your breath.
Stay tuned – forecasts can change, but for now, Baldwin is a no-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.
