The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Baldwin Beach Park over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’ve got one spot on the radar for this whole 16-day run: Baldwin Beach Park. This is a reef and point setup, and it’s a very consistent wave, which is a solid start. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. Monday the 7th is a mess with a strong cross-breeze from the east at 19 mph, bumping up a lumpy 5 ft to 7 ft of swell. The combined energy is moderate to strong (884 to 1332) but it’s just ugly out there. Pass on that.
Now, Tuesday the 8th is where the magic happens. We’ve got a clean morning with a light offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph, grooming a 6 ft ENE swell with a solid 11-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s got some push. The combined energy is moderate (776). Then the afternoon goes glassy—wind drops to 3 mph from the SSE, and the swell settles to 5 ft, still with a decent 10-second period. This is your standout window. The wave is a reef and point, so that longer period will wrap in nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly height, but the quality is there for everyone. Just keep in mind, this spot can get crowded often, so get in early.
Wednesday the 9th takes a step back. Rain showers move in, and the wind swings back to a cross-shore from the east at 12 mph, knocking the quality down. The swell drops to 5 ft with a short 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (709). It’s a bit of a washout.
From Thursday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 19th, it’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell stays small, mostly between 2 ft and 5 ft, and the period is short, often only 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is relentless from the east or ENE, always cross-shore, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (78 to 300). This is a real quiet spell for Baldwin.
Then, on Sunday the 20th, we get a little flicker of interest. The swell direction swings around to the NNW, but it’s only 3 ft to 3 ft with a longer 12 to 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate (370 to 379). The wind is still cross-shore from the east at 16 mph though, so it’s not going to be clean. This trend of small NNW swell continues into Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, with period dropping to 10-11 seconds, but the energy is still moderate (307 to 452). It’s something to watch, but the wind never lets up.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, Tuesday the 8th is your only real shot at something special. That glassy afternoon is the standout. If you’re not on it, you’re waiting a long time.
Rusty.
