The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week or so is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf with messy cross-shore winds and a choppy, bumpy surface. The first decent chance doesn’t show up until late in the run, so you’ll want to be patient.
The best and really the only standout window is around the 28th of July into the 29th. On Tuesday the 28th, Baldwin Beach Park (Maui) gets a clean, offshore wind from the NNE, which is a huge plus. That morning, the swell comes in at 7 ft from the east with a long 13 second period, and the combined energy is strong (1651). That’s real groundswell energy, and with that offshore wind, it should be clean and well-shaped. The swell is over 5 ft, so it’s gettin’ a bit solid for beginners, but for the experienced crew, that’s a proper session. The water temp is running at 80°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The Wednesday morning the 29th follows up with a similar setup: 8 ft from the ENE, 12 second period, and a light cross-onshore breeze (ENE at 10 km/h). The combined energy is very strong (1836). That’s a bit of meat on the bone, but it’s pushing into expert-only territory at that size. The wind is light, so it’ll still be surfable, but the offshore day on Tuesday is the one to lock in.
After that, the swell drops away and the winds turn messy again heading into August, with a return to cross-shore chop and smaller surf. The last week of the forecast looks pretty flat and weak.
Hang in there, mark the 28th and 29th on your calendar, and hope those long-range forecasts hold.
Rusty.

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.
