The Lowdown
Alright, this one’s a bummer, folks. We’re looking at Baldwin Beach Park, a reef and point break that usually pumps, but this whole 16-day stretch is mostly a dud. The water’s sitting at about 80°, which is normal for this time of year, so that’s not the issue.
The problem is the wind. From Friday, August 21st all the way through the end of the month, we’ve got a moderate to fresh cross-shore breeze out of the E and ENE. That’s chewing up the surface and giving us a lumpy cross-chop. Swell height bounces between about 4ft and 6ft, but the periods are mostly under 8 seconds, which is short-period wind slop, and the wave energy climbs from a weak 108 up to a moderate 489. It’s just messy, bumpy, and no fun for a paddle surfer. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding setup than a surf session.
There’s one tiny window on Thursday morning, September 3rd, where the wind goes glassy. The swell drops to about 3ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. That’s the only time it’s even surfable, but it’s described as “very ordinary.” The wave energy is a weak 143, so it’s small and pretty gutless. And with Baldwin’s optimum swell coming from the NNE, this ENE angle isn’t doing it any favors.
After that, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th slip back into the moderate cross-shore mess. Swell is small, between 2ft and 5ft, and while Saturday morning shows a 15-second groundswell (long-period), that cross-breeze will still mess it up. The wave energy jumps to 320 and 371, which sounds punchy, but the wind chop will make it a frustrating paddle for not much wave.
The only real recommendation in the whole 16 days is that glassy Thursday morning, and it’s barely a blip. For a break that’s usually reliable, this is a dry spell. Don’t write it off forever—these flat spells don’t usually last long around here.
