The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local skinny. We’re gonna start with a bit of a flat spell, but hang tight, because there’s a corker of a day on the horizon for those who can wait.
First up, we’re lookin' at a pretty grim run. Friday the 24th through to Tuesday the 29th of July is mostly a write-off at Baldwin Beach Park. That early week stuff is all cross-shore chop and poor conditions, with a messy 5 ft to 7 ft ENE swell that’s just blown out. The wave energy is moderate at best, with readings of 330 to 1373, but it’s all wind-affected and ugly. Not worth paddlin’ out for.
Now, the big news. Wednesday the 29th of July is the standout. The morning session is where it’s at. We get a solid 10 ft swell from the ENE, with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE and a clean, glassy face. The wave energy is strong (1397), and the reports say it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a big call, but I’m feelin’ it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For the crew who can handle it, that’s the day to be on it. The afternoon will drop off a bit, with the wind turning cross-off and the swell droppin’ to 7 ft, energy backin’ off to 647, but it’ll still be clean.
After that, we slide back into a whole lot of nothing. Thursday the 30th of July through to the end of the forecast on the 8th of August is just a mix of marginal cross-chop and poor conditions. The swell drops to 3 ft to 6 ft, with energy mostly in the 400 to 900 range, and the wind is never your friend. There’s a bit of a longer-period E swell on the 2nd of August (16 seconds), but with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, it’s just not gonna come together for a good paddle. The long period would make it tricky at a beach break like this anyway.
So, the long and short of it: if you’re a seasoned pro, put the 29th of July in your calendar. For everyone else, it’s a long wait for anything clean. The first week and a half is a bust, and while the second week has some pulses, the wind and conditions just won’t line up. It’s a quiet stretch, but that one Wednesday morning is a beauty.
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 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.
