The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, now in feet and miles per hour.
Looking at Baldwin Beach Park (Maui), the early part of the forecast is a real bummer. There’s a big gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. Things only start to look half-decent on Wednesday, July 29th.
That Wednesday morning is your best bet. You’ve got around 5 ft of swell out of the east-northeast with a 10-second period. The wind is glassy—just 3 mph out of the northwest—so the surface is going to be clean. The combined swell energy sits at moderate levels (770). It’s not going to be massive, but on a reef and point break like Baldwin, that groundswell should shape up nicely. The optimum direction for this break is north-northeast, so the angle isn’t dead perfect, but with those conditions, it’s still the best of the whole run.
After that, it’s back to the grind. From July 30th onward, the wind swings east, staying cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave quality tanks. By early August, we’re looking at short-period slop—6 to 8 seconds—and weak energy readings (113 to 203). There’s a slight chance on Tuesday, August 4th, in the morning: about 5 ft out of the east-northeast with an 11-second period and a gentle cross-shore breeze (combined energy 548, moderate). It’s marginal, but it might just offer a few if you’re desperate.
Into the second week, it’s mostly small and choppy. Water temp is around 80°F, which is normal for this time of year.
So, bottom line: pencil in Wednesday the 29th. After that, it’s a long wait. On the bigger, windier days—like July 28th with waves near 10 ft from the east-northeast—this stretch might be more fun for kite surfers than for paddle surfers. Keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty out.

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.
