The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on things. We're looking at a pretty lean stretch ahead, so don't get your hopes up too high for a quick fix.
The first hint of any action shows up on Sunday the 16th, but it's nothing to write home about. Baldwin Beach Park is seeing an 8 ft east swell with a short 9-second period, so it's a bit of a jumbled mess. The wind is howling out of the ESE at 19 mph, making conditions cross-off but pretty rough, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The combined energy is moderate (980). Water temp is sitting at 80°, bang on average for this time of year, so that’s one small win. Honestly, this first day is barely worth a paddle, and the score reflects that.
After that, we hit a real desert. From Monday the 17th right through to the morning of Saturday the 23rd, there’s pretty much nothing on offer. The swell drops away into tiny, weak energy (values like 118, 90, 81) with cross or onshore winds messing up what little is there. It’s a solid week of flat or poor conditions, so keep the board in the truck.
Things start to rattle back to life on the afternoon of Saturday the 23rd, with the swell picking up to a modest 5 ft from the ENE at 8 seconds, but the wind is a cross breeze and the quality is still classed as poor. That trend of "not good" continues until we get into a more interesting window.
Now, the one real standout in this whole 16-day picture is shaping up for the end of the month. From Wednesday the 26th and into Friday the 28th, the swell pumps up. We’re looking at 8 ft to a solid 10 ft from the ENE and E, with the period stretching out to 10 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy rockets up to strong levels (1218 up to 1984). This is big, powerful surf. Fair warning: once it hits over 8 ft, this is strictly for experts. The wind does stay cross-shore from the ENE at 16 mph, which isn’t perfect but keeps it from being completely blown out. This is the only window that looks worth pointing a finger at, but don’t plan your week around it yet; it's far out and could shift. For a reef and point set-up like Baldwin Beach Park, that long-period energy should wrap in with some good shape, but it’ll be a heavy paddle.
Overall, a long, quiet first week, then a late-month spike that’s promising but far from certain. Keep an eye on it.
