The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is — this 16-day stretch at Baldwin Beach Park is a tough nut. There’s no real standout session, and the wind just won’t give us a break. Let’s go through it.
The forecast starts Thursday, 30th July, with some swell coming in, but it’s not working for us. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (368), but that 1.5m easterly swell is short at 8 seconds, and we’ve got a 25 km/h cross-shore wind from the east. The result is poor surf. Water temp is 26° with a tiny anomaly of 0.1°, so about average for the season.
Friday, 31st July, the swell builds to 1.7m in the morning and 1.8m in the afternoon, still from the east-northeast, period stuck at 8 seconds. The cross-shore wind stays fresh, 25 to 30 km/h, making the surface lumpy. Wave energy climbs to 637 and 588, but it’s all messy. No good.
Saturday, 1st August, the swell tops out at 2.2m with an 8-second period, energy hitting 865 — still moderate to strong, but the wind is cross-shore from the east at 25 km/h. It’s choppy and blown out. Not worth it.
Sunday, 2nd August, the swell drops a bit to 2.0m, still cross-shore, and the morning is only marginal due to tide. The afternoon is back to poor. This pattern holds through Monday, 3rd August, with 1.4m to 1.5m, cross-shore winds easing to 15-20 km/h, but the surf is still poor.
Tuesday, 4th August, brings a slight change. The swell is 1.6m, and the period jumps to 11 seconds — a bit more groundswell character. Energy is still moderate (582). The wind is gentler, cross-shore at 15-20 km/h, but it’s still cross-shore, so only marginal conditions. The longer period might help shape, but the wind direction kills it.
From Wednesday, 5th August, through to the end on 14th August, the swell drops and stays small, mostly 0.8m to 1.5m, with short periods from 7 to 9 seconds. The wind never swings offshore — it’s locked in from the east or east-northeast, 20 to 25 km/h, always cross-shore. The combined energy drops from 252 down to a weak 113 by mid-August. No clean windows.
The one glimmer is Tuesday, 4th August, with the longer 11-second period, but with the wind cross-shore, it’s still not a standout. Honestly, this stretch is better for a kite session on those windy afternoons — the consistent cross-shore chop and moderate energy make it more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
No real standouts. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, it’s a quiet run.
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.

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.
