The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Baldwin Beach Park over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th have some swell, but the wind is a mess, coming from the ENE and kicking up a cross-chop. The wave energy is there – we’re seeing readings of 1541 and 1538 (moderate to strong) – but the conditions just aren’t putting it together. The water temp is bang on average for this time of year at 80°, but that’s little comfort when the waves are messy.
The best bet in this whole stretch looks like Monday afternoon, the 7th of September. The swell holds around 7ft from the ENE, with a solid 12-second period. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the E, and it goes cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The energy is still strong at 1318, and this is the closest we get to a clean, lined-up wave. For a little point and reef setup like Baldwin, that’s a good window. It’s still a bit of a mixed bag, but if you’re picking a time, that’s it. Crowds are often a thing here, so expect company.
After that, Tuesday the 8th sees the swell drop a bit to 5ft to 6ft, and the wind goes light, but it’s still cross-shore. The energy drops off to 526-768. Then from Wednesday the 9th right through the second week, it’s mostly poor. Swell drops to under 3ft, the wind stays cross or cross-on from the ENE, and the energy gets weak – around 200-400. The waves are either small, chopped, or both. The period gets short, down to 7-8 seconds, which is junk.
There’s a little bump around Sunday the 13th with 8ft from the ENE and a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. Definitely not worth a special trip.
So, in the end, the standout is Monday afternoon, the 7th. That’s your best shot at a clean 7ft wave with a cross-offshore breeze. The rest of the window is mostly a bust. For a break that’s usually very consistent, this is a poor run, but it won’t last forever.
Rusty.
