The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Baldwin Beach Park is the only show in town, and it’s a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a total washout, so save your energy. From Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, it’s all cross-shore wind and lumpy, poor surf – nothing worth paddling for. That runs straight through until the morning of Tuesday, September 8th.
Then, on the morning of Tuesday, September 8th, we get a real standout. The wind flips to a light offshore breeze from the south at 12 mph, cleaning the place up. Swell’s 6 ft from the ENE, with moderate energy (665), and that offshore flow will have Baldwin’s reef and point looking glassy. Water temp’s 80°, right where it should be for this time of year. This is the best session in the window, no question. The afternoon drops to 4 ft with lighter offshore winds, still clean but smaller.
After that, things get messy again. The 9th and 10th bring back cross-shore winds and choppy conditions, though there’s some long-period groundswell (14 seconds) in there, which at a reef and point like Baldwin can get interesting. The 11th of September morning and afternoon have 6 ft to 6 ft ENE swell, light winds, and moderate energy (1064 and 1101), so it’s marginal but worth a look if you’re keen. From the 12th onward, the quality tanks again, with mostly poor conditions and small, short-period swell through to the 17th. Bottom line: get out on that clean Tuesday the 8th. The 11th is a maybe, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
