The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a rough start. The first solid recommendation isn’t until Wednesday, September 9th, so we’re looking at a 9-day wait before things turn on. From Sunday afternoon, August 30th, right through to Tuesday, September 8th, it’s a mess of moderate to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, a lumpy chop, and generally poor surf conditions. The swell is a weak, short-period 4.9ft to 11.5ft from the ENE with periods around 7-8 seconds – not worth the paddle. The one exception in that stretch is Tuesday, September 8th, with a brief offshore wind from the NNW, but the conditions are still marginal and the swell is messy.
Now, the real standout arrives on Wednesday, September 9th. Baldwin Beach Park (reef and point) is the spot to watch. We’ve got a solid 8.2ft swell from the ENE, but the big news is the wind. Wednesday morning is dead glassy (0 mph), and Wednesday afternoon is glassy with a light NE breeze at 3 mph. That’s clean, clean surf. The swell period jumps to 9 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, and the combined wave energy is strong at 1105 (morning) and 949 (afternoon). The water temperature is 80°F, which is spot on average for this time of year – no surprises there. This is a beginner-friendly break, but with 8.2ft, it’s gonna be pushing it for learners. The swell direction (ENE) matches the optimum NNE direction reasonably well, and given the reef and point setup, that longer period will really line up and give you some proper shape. Definitely the best on offer.
Thursday, September 10th, the swell drops a touch to 6.2ft, and the wind goes light cross-onshore and cross-shore – still rideable, but not the perfection of Wednesday. The energy drops to moderate (480-492). Friday, September 11th, is similar, with 5.6-5.9ft and light winds. The weekend after that (September 12-14) looks like it fades back into poor conditions with moderate cross-shore winds and weaker 3.9ft to 5.2ft swells.
So, the clear call is: if you can, wait for that glassy Wednesday, September 9th. It’s the only true gem in the whole 16-day window. The rest is either a flat-out write-off or just marginal.
