The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
I've got to level with you – it's a rough start. From now through about the 15th of August, it's a long stretch of messy conditions. We're looking at a solid run of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds out of the ENE, blowing 12 to 15 mph, with wave heights bouncing between 4 and 5 feet. The period is short, only 7 to 8 seconds, so the energy is weak, with the combined swell energy sitting between 92 and 390. It's just choppy, lumpy, and not worth paddling out for. Even when the swell starts to build a bit on the 14th and 15th, the wind stays bad, so it's still a no-go.
Now, the 16th of August (Sunday) is a different beast, but it's not for everyone. The size jumps big time – 11 to 13 feet – with a longer period of 12 to 13 seconds. The combined energy is huge, hitting 4315 to 4837. That's serious power. But the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, and the forecast flags it as marginal due to tide. This is strictly expert-level stuff. A lot of water moving around.
Then, mark it down, because Monday the 17th of August is the one we've been waiting for. After all that wind, we get a glass-off. The forecast shows a glassy morning with only a slight air from the ESE, about 3 mph. The swell drops back to a much more manageable 5 feet, with a 9-second period from the ENE. The combined energy is a moderate 408. The afternoon looks even cleaner, with a light offshore breeze and waves around 6 feet. This is the standout window. For Baldwin Beach Park, a reef and point break, it's a classic setup. Clean 5 to 6 feet with light winds – that's the sweet spot. It's a very consistent break, and with conditions like that, it's going to be firing. The water temp is 80°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so you'll be fine in boardshorts or a spring suit.
After that magic Monday, it gets quiet again. From the 18th through the 24th, we're back to cross-shore winds, small 4 to 7 feet swell with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds, and generally poor conditions. The energy stays low, mostly in the 150 to 507 range. Nothing worth getting excited about.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a total wash. The 16th is for experts only. The real standout, the one you need to save the date for, is Monday the 17th of August. That's your window for clean, fun waves at Baldwin Beach Park.
Stay patient, and I'll see you out there.
Rusty.

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.
