The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Baldwin Beach Park for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, I’m not gonna lie. The first week is pretty grim. Nothing but poor surf with cross-shore winds and short-period, choppy waves. The water is a warm 80°F, which is about average for the season, so at least a dip is refreshing. The first time we even see a "marginal" call is on Sunday afternoon, July 26th.
The one day that really stands out is Wednesday, July 29th. The morning brings a 8ft swell from the ENE, and the wind is a clean, cross-off breeze from the ESE. That’s a beautiful combo. The afternoon is just as good, with a 7ft swell from the E and the same clean wind. The wave energy is pumping hard at 1212 (moderate to strong). This is a reef and point break, so it’ll handle that size well. The swell period is around 9-10 seconds, so it’s got some power but isn’t a super-long groundswell. It’s the clear winner for the whole forecast. Just know that crowds are a real possibility here – it’s listed as "often" busy.
The rest of the window is a lot of "poor" and "marginal." We get a couple of days with a long-period swell (14-16 seconds) on the 26th and 27th, but the wave height is only 3ft to 4ft, and the winds are messy. The long period means it’ll be a bit more lined up, but the conditions are just not there.
After the 29th, we’re back to small, choppy, cross-shore slop through the first week of August. The 5th has a 7ft swell, but it’s cross-on and gets a low score.
So, here’s the plan: aim for Wednesday, July 29th. That’s your best shot at clean, fun waves. The rest is a waiting game. It won’t stay poor forever, and forecasts can change.
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.
