The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore winds and messy conditions, so your best bet is to keep your expectations in check.
The first proper surf we see is for Baldwin Beach Park on Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. It’s a reef and point setup, very consistent, which is a good thing. The water’s sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed. We’ve got a moderate cross-shore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, which is blowing across the face, creating a bit of a cross-chop. The swell is coming from the ENE at 6 ft with a short period of 8 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (621). It’s a bit of a mess, though – the forecast calls it marginal, and the wind is making things lumpy. This one’s a pass for me.
Then we hit a huge dry spell. From Monday morning, August 3rd, all the way through to Saturday, August 15th, the conditions are just poor. The wind stays cross or cross-on from the ENE, never getting offshore. The swell is all over the place, but it’s consistently on the smaller side, with heights hovering between 3 ft and 7 ft, and the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 119 to 595. It’s just a choppy, lumpy mess. The wind is a constant problem, keeping the surface ugly. There’s nothing to recommend here.
The only potential glimmer is on Saturday afternoon, August 15th, and then Sunday morning, August 16th, but it’s still a stretch. The swell picks up to 7 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, giving us moderate energy (548 and 595). But the wind is still a strong cross-shore, 15-19 mph. For a beach and reef setup like this, with that much wind and that kind of short-period swell, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions are just too raw for a clean ride.
So, bottom line: there are no standout days in this outlook. The wind is just not cooperating. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s a long wait for something clean. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
