Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baldwin Beach Park over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s be straight with ya: there’s not a single session worth paddling into at Baldwin Beach Park for the entire 16-day outlook. From Friday July 10th right through to Saturday July 25th, it’s a whole bunch of nothing but choppy, bumpy slop.
Winds are either cross or cross-onshore from the ENE at 12 to 16 mph most days, occasionally gusting to 19 mph. That keeps the surface blown out and messy. Swell heights run from about 2 ft up to 6 ft, but with short periods around 6 to 8 seconds, the waves are weak and crumbly. The combined wave energy reads moderate for the first week – values like 279 to 441 (moderate energy) – but with the wind on it, it’s all chop.
There’s no standout wave in the whole run. Every single day is labeled “poor surf conditions.” Sunday July 12th shows a little more energy with swell at 6 ft, but that 16 mph cross-wind still wrecks it. Beginners would get chewed up on anything over 5 ft with that wind, so even they should stay dry.
Around Wednesday July 22nd, swell drops to a tiny 2 ft to 2 ft, but the period jumps to 14 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. Problem is, with cross-shore wind and such small size, it’s still not worth the drive. By the 25th, it’s down to 4 ft with a 5-second period – just weak and wobbly.
Water’s at 79°F, which is only 0.4° above normal for the season – pretty average.
Bottom line: this whole stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. Might be a session for a kite if the wind holds, but for a surfer, it’s a hard pass. Forecasts can flip, so don’t give up hope, but right now? Nah.

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.
