The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, looking at the next 16 days for Baldwin Beach Park, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The first week is a write-off, honestly. The wind is stuck in from the ENE, which is cross or cross-on, and the swell period is short, mostly around 7-8 seconds. That combo is just making for choppy, messy conditions. You’re looking at moderate cross-shore chop day after day, and the combined wave energy is moderate (209-526), but it’s just not translating to anything rideable. The swell is there but it’s junky. Nothing worth paddling out for until we get into early September.
We finally see a glimmer on Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon, but it’s only marginal – the combined energy picks up to 526 and the period stretches to 8 seconds, but it’s still cross-shore and rough. Still a pass.
The real interesting window, the one that stands out, comes on Thursday the 10th of September. Thursday morning is where it’s at. The wind shifts to a light southerly offshore at 12 mph. That’s clean. The swell is 6 ft from the NE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 638, so there’s good power. This is the best looking setup by far. The reef and point break at Baldwin should shape up nicely with that NE groundswell and clean offshore winds. It’s a consistent spot, and it’s well exposed to that NNE optimum direction, so it should handle the swell well.
The afternoon of the 10th is still decent with a gentle cross-off breeze, but the swell drops a touch.
The water temperature is about 80°F, which is right on the mark for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Overall, for the next 16 days, the best bet is that Thursday morning, the 10th of September. Everything before that is a waiting game. There is a solid stretch of poor conditions from now until the 9th, so don't rush it. After the 10th, the swell fades and the wind goes back to poor. Make that Thursday count.
