The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day window for Baldwin Beach Park, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one. The whole period is a bit of a grind. There’s a good stretch of nothing really happening, so let's get into it.
The first bit of surf we see is on Monday, August 3rd. It’s a small 5ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a cross-shore breeze, making it a bit lumpy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. The wave energy is moderate at 391, but it’s a marginal call. Honestly, it’s not one to get too excited about.
The pattern stays pretty locked in through the first week. We’ve got small, choppy, ENE windswell day after day, rarely breaking 5ft. The wind is almost always a moderate cross-shore, keeping things messy. There’s no standout session in this first week. The only real change is a slow climb in wave energy, hitting 444 on the Tuesday afternoon, but the wind is cross-onshore and the forecast is poor. It’s a tough go.
The second week doesn’t offer much relief. The swell sticks around 5ft to 5ft from the same ENE direction, with periods as short as 7 seconds. The wind is a constant moderate cross-shore. The wave energy ticks up to the 300-400 range, but it’s still all poor surf conditions. By the time we get to Sunday, August 16th, the swell bumps up to 6ft-6ft, and the energy is strong at 456, but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. This is not a paddle-friendly setup; it’s really more of a kite-surfing kind of energy with the consistent cross-wind.
So, the honest truth is, there’s no real standout here. The whole 16 days is a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions. The wind just never cleans up, and the swell is short-period and messy. For a break that’s a reef and point setup, it’s a real bummer. The best I can say is maybe keep an eye on the 17th and 18th of August when the swell is a bit bigger (6ft), but with the fresh cross-wind, it’s gonna be a bumpy, choppy mess. It’s not one for the logbook.
Stay hopeful, the forecasts can change.
Rusty.
