The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening.
The outlook is pretty flat for a while. There's a gap of about four days before we see anything worth getting in the water for. The first real window is on Tuesday, September 8th.
Baldwin Beach Park is the only break on the radar. Tuesday afternoon is our one standout moment. The water is warm at 80°, about average for this time of year so a shorty is all you need. We've got chest-high swell coming from the ENE at 5 feet, with a nice 11-second period on it. That period tells you it’s a proper groundswell with some guts and good shape. The best part is the glassy conditions with a light 3 mph offshore breeze from the ENE, leaving the surface smooth as glass. The combined energy is moderate at 716, so there’s some push in the water. This is a reef and point break, so that longer-period swell will wrap the point nicely. Crowds are often around, so don’t expect solitude, but for clean, head-high waves, it’s an easy choice. At this size, it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so everyone can have a go.
Starting Wednesday morning, September 9th, the quality drops hard. The wind turns onshore and picks up, and the conditions get messy. We see a long run of poor to marginal surf with choppy, lumpy water and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. The swell hangs in the 3 to 6-foot range, but the period drops under 8 seconds most days, so it’s just weak, bumpy windswell. The combined energy figures sit between 100 and 600, so weak to moderate, but it’s all junk. The forecast stays rough all the way to the end. A couple of days in the second week, like Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, show a little bump with 5.5 to 6-foot swell and 9-second periods, but the wind stays cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it’s a long shot. Don’t hold your breath.
So, the call is simple: Tuesday afternoon is the only real play in this whole 16-day run. After that, it’s a long wait for something clean.

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.
