The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty logging in from the North Shore. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Baldwin Beach Park.
Honestly, straight up, it’s a grim start. We’ve got a long dry spell here. From Tuesday, the 4th of August, all the way through until Sunday, the 16th of August, the forecast is just a flat-out no-go. The conditions are dominated by cross-onshore and cross-shore winds, and the wave quality is rated as poor. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is not the optimum direction for the break, and the wind is just messing it all up. Combined wave energy is moderate, hitting a peak of 971 on the afternoon of the 16th, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is ruining the shape. The water temperature is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no weirdness there.
For the whole first 13 days, you’re looking at a lot of chop and cross-chop. The swell height is there, but the period is short, mostly 7-8 seconds, which means weak, disorganized waves. It’s not going to be a fun paddle.
Then, finally, we get a little glimmer. Monday, the 17th of August, is the only thing that even comes close to a recommendation. The swell builds to 10ft from the ENE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1265, which is strong. But here’s the kicker: it’s described as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." The wind is cross-shore, not clean. At 10ft, this is expert territory, and with a short period, it’s going to be a beast of a closeout at a beach break. It’s a last resort, and not a good one. The following day, the 18th, drops back to 7ft with the same marginal quality.
So, the bottom line: there is no standout session here. The only potential window is on the 17th of August for experienced surfers only, and even then, it’s a gamble. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, I’d take a long walk on the beach.
Rusty.
