The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off with a bit of a wait, I’m not gonna lie. The first few days are a write-off with messy, cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell. It’s not until Thursday, the 14th of August, that we start to see a pulse of energy, but even then the wind is still a problem. The real standout, and the only time I’d genuinely get excited, is the morning of Sunday, the 16th of August.
Baldwin Beach Park (the only spot on the menu) is a reef and point setup, very consistent, and it loves a swell from the NNE. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
For that Sunday morning, the 16th, we’ve got a solid 12ft swell from the east with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a lot of energy – about 2274 (combined energy of all swells directed here) – and it’s sizeable. Over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE, which is a massive positive. It’s going to be clean. The crowd can be an issue here, as it’s often packed, so get in early. That’s easily the best window of the whole forecast.
The afternoon of that same Sunday drops off to 8ft from the east, still clean with a gentle breeze, but the energy is down to 834. It’s still decent, but not the standout.
After that, we slide back into a long, flat spell. From Monday the 17th right through to the 27th of August, it’s a mix of weak, short-period junk and onshore winds. There are a few tiny pulses around the 23rd and 24th, with 3ft waves and light cross-off winds, giving you clean but very weak waves. It’s surfable, but it’s hardly going to get the heart pumping. Honestly, the whole second week is a bit of a dud.
Bottom line: The only real crack at something worthwhile is first light on Sunday, the 16th of August. If you miss that, you’re in for a long wait.
Rusty.
