The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next 16 days at Baldwin Beach Park (Maui) are looking pretty grim. The wind is stuck from the east-northeast, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, cross or cross-onshore, so the surface will be lumpy and choppy. The swell is mostly short-period, between 5 and 8 seconds, and the energy never really gets going. On Thursday 6th August, the combined energy is 141 (moderate), but the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” From Friday 7th through to Tuesday 11th, the energy runs from 87 to 298, but it’s all “poor surf conditions” with zero scores. There’s a glimmer on Wednesday 18th August when the swell hits 7 ft from the east-northeast and the energy jumps to 572 (strong), but the wind is still cross-shore, and the call is only “marginal.” The rest of the run through to 21st August is more of the same: poor conditions, energy dropping to 136, and the wind never letting up. There’s a 12-day gap from 6th August to Tuesday 18th August with no real recommendation. This is a reef and point setup, but with the wind locked in cross-shore, it’s gonna be messy and frustrating. For beginners, the swell is mostly under 5 ft, so it’s not too big, but the chop will make it tough. The water temperature is about 80°, which is normal for this time of year. Honestly, leave the board at home. This stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing to call a standout here. 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.
