Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baya Reef over the next 16 days.


G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Baya Reef – a solid advanced reef break that works best with a good SW swell. The water’s sitting around 83°F, right on average for the time of year, so nothing weird going on.

We start Saturday 11 July with a clean morning: 5ft SW swell, 14-second period, light offshore breeze from the SE. Swell energy is moderate at 804. Get out early because the afternoon wind picks up and turns cross-shore, getting a bit bumpy.

Sunday 12 July is flat and messy – swell under 3ft, cross-onshore wind. Skip it.

Monday 13 July morning is a little hidden gem. Only 2ft of swell, but from the SSW with a very long 21-second period – classic groundswell. Glassy conditions mean clean faces. Combined energy is 816 (moderate). Long period means longer waits but easier paddling, and on a reef, those waves will hold their shape.

Tuesday 14 July morning is a standout: 5ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy. Energy jumps to 1771 (strong). Ideal for advanced surfers. Afternoon gets a cross-chop.

Wednesday 15 July morning holds 5ft, 16-second period, light cross breeze – still good, but not as clean. Afternoon winds hit 19 mph, ruining the surface.

Thursday 16 and Friday 17 July offer 4ft to 5ft swells, but cross-shore winds keep it a bit lumpy.

Monday 20 July morning is the real highlight: 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, cross-offshore breeze, combined energy 2151 (strong). This is pumping – clean, powerful waves for experienced surfers. It’s a big session.

The following mornings stay solid: Tuesday 21 July has 6ft, Wednesday 22 July drops but stays clean, and Thursday 23 July is small but clean at 3ft with a 17-second period.

The last days around Sunday 26 July morning show 4ft SSW swell, glassy, and excellent quality – a fine way to end the run.

Best bets: Tuesday 14 July and Monday 20 July mornings. Crowds can show up sometimes, but the quality makes it worth it. Get out early for the cleanest waves.

Rusty.

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.
