The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, translating that into feet and miles per hour for you.
We're looking at Baya Reef. Water temp is about 82°F, which is totally normal for the season. No weird anomalies here.
So, the pattern kicks off on Saturday, July 25th. The morning is the only play. We've got a 6ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period. Wind is cross-offshore from the SE at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is 1118 (moderate to strong). For an advanced reef break, that's a solid, powerful session. The afternoon winds foul it up and the swell drops.
Then we hit a quiet spell from Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 29th. Swell drops under 3ft, winds are shifty and cross-shore, conditions are marginal to poor. Not worth the paddle.
Things perk up on Wednesday, July 29th morning. Glassy conditions – wind from the S at just 3 mph, a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 14-second period. That's a long-period groundswell, meaning better shape and more energy. The reading is 491 (moderate). It's small but clean and lined up.
The big standout is Thursday, July 30th. Thursday morning: glassy again, wind from the S at 3 mph, with a 3ft swell from the SSW and an incredible 19-second period. That's very long period groundswell. The energy is a strong 1176. For a reef, that's the recipe for powerful, glassy, well-shaped waves. That is the morning session to circle on the calendar.
Looking into the first week of August, a lot of it is marginal with cross-winds, but Sunday, August 2nd, morning looks excellent. Glassy conditions, a 6ft swell from the SSW at 17 seconds, and energy of 2078 (very strong). That's a lot of water. For advanced surfers at Baya Reef, that's going to be a serious session.
Then on Friday, August 7th, we see 8ft from the SSW at 17 seconds. That's big wave territory, with energy of 3331 (very strong). The morning wind is cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping it reasonably clean, but this is for experts only. Saturday the 8th is similar at 8ft but with windy afternoons.
The pick of the litter? Thursday 30th July morning for that magic glass and super long period. And Sunday 2nd August morning for the serious size and power.
Rusty out.

Information about the Baya Reef Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Baya Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Baya Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Baya Reef 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 (Baya Reef) 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 Baya Reef 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.
Baya Reef is 35 km (22 miles) from the city of Pelabuhanratu. If you plan a holiday in West Java, look for hotels and other accommodation in Pelabuhanratu. Pelabuhanratu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
