The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – this 16-day stretch for Baldwin Beach Park is a total write-off. I’m looking from Friday July 31st all the way to Saturday August 15th, and there’s nothing to get excited about.
Every single day we’ve got a cross-shore wind hammering out of the east and east-northeast at 12 to 19 mph, kicking up a lumpy cross-chop. The swell is coming from the east and east-northeast, running between 3 ft and 7 ft, but it’s all short-period windswell – 6 to 9 seconds. That’s weak, gutless stuff. The combined swell energy numbers barely break into the moderate range, mostly sitting in the low hundreds – not enough push for a decent wave.
There is a brief moment around Tuesday August 4th where the period bumps up to 11 seconds and the swell hits about 5 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore and the surface is choppy. It’s the only time the numbers say “marginal,” but it’s still not clean. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s nothing.
Water temp is about normal for the season. No surprises there.
The swell never gets above 8 ft, so it’s not too big for anyone, but the quality is just awful. With the wind howling consistently and the face all chopped up, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We’re looking at a full 16-day gap with no decent surf.
It’s a rough one. Keep the board in the car, but don’t wax it.

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.
