The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk feet and miles. This 16-day window for Baldwin Beach Park is a tough nut to crack. The wind is your enemy, and the swell is mostly short-period junk. The water temp is about normal for the season, so at least you won’t freeze.
The first week starts Thursday, August 6th. Thursday morning shows a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 99. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, and it’s “poor surf conditions.” That’s your story for the whole first week. Friday is the same, with a 4ft swell and energy dropping to 58. Saturday bumps up to 4ft, but the wind is still cross, and the energy is moderate at 188. By Sunday the 9th, the swell hits 6ft with an 8-second period and energy of 358, but the wind is a fresh breeze with a risk of thunderstorms. It’s lumpy, choppy, and not surfable. This poor quality continues through to Thursday, August 13th, with the swell between 4ft and 5ft, and that cross-shore wind never lets up.
There’s a big gap of several days here with no recommendation. The surf is just plain poor. The only real stand-out, and I mean the only one, comes on Monday, August 17th. The swell climbs to a solid 7ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 706. The wind is still a moderate cross-shore, but the wave comment shifts from “poor” to “marginal.” That’s the best we’ve got. For a reef and point break like Baldwin Beach Park, which is very consistent and exposed to the NNE, this is serious power. But it’s too big for beginners at over 6ft, and the short period means it’s windswell, not a clean groundswell. The shape will be ugly, and the cross-shore wind will make it a fight. Expect crowds, because it’s often busy.
After that, the swell backs off. Tuesday, August 18th, drops to 6ft with a longer period of 9 seconds, but the wind is still cross. The energy is moderate (452). Wednesday and Thursday the 20th see the swell drop to 4ft and 4ft, with the wind finally turning cross-on from the NE. The energy is weak (210-219). The last day, Friday, August 21st, shows a 4ft swell with a 9-second period, cross-on wind from the NNE, and a marginal rating. The combined energy is 270.
So, if you’re an expert who can handle heavy, lumpy windswell, Monday, August 17th, is your only real option. The swell is big, but it’s not clean. For everyone else, this is a dry spell. The wind is never right, and the swell is consistently poor. It’s not a great stretch for a paddle surfer, but with that much wind, the kite surfers might be loving it.
Rusty.

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.
