The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again.
So we're looking at Baldwin Beach Park, and I gotta tell you, it’s a tough outlook. For a spot that likes the north-northeast, we’re getting hammered by east-northeast wind and swell that just won't quit. The first week and a half is basically a no-go. The water temperature is about normal for the season, nothing to report there.
The first real, and I mean *real* slight, chance to get wet is on Monday, July 20th, in the morning. The swell is 4ft from the ENE, with a short 8-second period, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore. It’s labelled as marginal, so your expectations should be low. It's a "might be okay" situation.
The one flash of real energy hits on Wednesday, July 22nd in the afternoon. The combined swell energy is 539 (moderate), with a 1.4m (5ft) groundswell, and a 12-second period. That longer period means more power, but at a beach and reef break, the waves might not peel as well. The wind is still a moderate cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. This is the best of a bad bunch. After that, the energy stays high on the 24th (625 and 674), but the wind goes cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor.
Honestly, there's no real winner here. The only day that might offer a few half-decent waves is the 22nd afternoon, but it'll be crowded (it often is) and the conditions aren't pristine. For the beginner, the swell is small enough, but the wind is a problem. For the expert, there’s some serious energy in the water on the 24th and 25th, but only if you don’t mind a battle with the wind. It’s a long, quiet patch otherwise.
Rusty.

Information about the Baldwin Beach Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Baldwin Beach Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Baldwin Beach Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Baldwin Beach Park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Baldwin Beach Park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
