The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Baldwin Beach Park, our reef and point setup. The water's sitting at a nice 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 14th, you're looking at weak, short-period ENE windswell with cross and cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, with the combined energy reading between 168 and 565. The surf is small, messy, and the conditions are just poor. It's not worth paddling out for.
We get a spike in size on Saturday the 15th, but it comes with a price. The swell jumps up to 10ft with a stormy ENE wind at 25 mph. The combined energy rockets up to 2218, which is strong, but it'll be a total washing machine. There's rain showers and a strong cross-onshore breeze making it a howling mess. Sunday the 16th is your best bet in the whole outlook. The swell is still a solid 10ft from the E, but the wind switches to a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, dropping to 12 mph in the afternoon. The combined energy is very strong at 1960. The data says "clean" conditions, so it won't be perfect, but it's the clearest window we get. Keep in mind, at 10ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew. There's a risk of thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky.
After Sunday, it's a long, dry spell. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Thursday the 27th, the forecast is blanketed with "poor surf conditions." The swell drops back down to the 4ft to 6ft range, and the period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds. The wind is a constant cross-shore chop from the ENE or E. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with combined energy readings mostly under 350. It's small, weak, and bumpy. There's nothing to get excited about here.
So, the bottom line is: if you're an expert who can handle some size and a bit of lumpiness, Sunday the 16th afternoon is your window. The rest of the 16 days? It's a long stretch of small, choppy conditions. Keep your board waxed and hope the forecasts change.
Rusty.
