Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's happening at Baldwin Beach Park for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—things are looking pretty grim for a paddle. The trade winds are blowing strong and steady from the ENE, and that swell is coming from the same direction. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 79°F, which is about average for this time of year. The problem is, we're dealing with a messy, short-period windswell that's just not doing this spot any favors.
The forecast kicks off this Friday afternoon, July 3rd, with a 5ft swell from the ENE, but it's crossed up with a moderate breeze. The combined energy is weak (348), and it's just a lumpy, choppy mess. This pattern holds all through the first week. Every morning and afternoon from Saturday the 4th through to Friday the 10th is more of the same: 4ft to 6ft of short-period (7-8 seconds), cross-shore wind holding it together. The wave comment across the board says "poor surf conditions."
By Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but we're still dealing with rain showers mixed in and a moderate cross-shore wind. It's still not good. The combined energy is between 234 and 258—still weak.
Monday the 13th sees a weird little blip. In the morning, there's a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW with a long 16-second period, but the energy is a measly 251 and the cross-shore wind from the ENE is light. That's a groundswell, but it's so small and wrong-direction it's not gonna do anything for this break. The afternoon brings a 4ft easterly swell, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it choppy again.
Tuesday the 14th through to Saturday the 18th is a long, flat run of poor conditions. Swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft, but it's all short-period junk from the ENE or E, with moderate cross-shore winds of 9 to 16 mph. The combined energy stays under 400 the whole time, mostly in the 200s. There is no standout day, no clean window, and no time to get excited.
Honestly, this is a tough outlook. For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a real dry spell. If you've got a kite, the consistent cross-shore winds might get you out there, but for a surfer? There's nothing to recommend. The whole 16-day window is a washout.
Rusty.

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.
