The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s break down this stretch of surf. It’s a real mixed bag coming up for the next couple of weeks. The swell direction is locked in from the SSW/SW, and there’s a consistent groundswell pushing in, but the wind is gonna be the main player, and honestly, it’s gonna mess with things more often than not. There are a couple of early bright spots you absolutely need to be on, but after that, you’ll be watching it get chopped up.

The big standout is early Saturday morning, September 5th. That's got a clean 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds with a light SE cross-off breeze. That's proper groundswell, modest energy (1237), and with that offshore touch, it’s gonna be glassy and have some nice lines. Baya Reef (Baya-Reef) is a consistent reef that holds this direction well. This is the crown jewel of the first week, no doubt. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so it won't be a shock.

That Saturday afternoon falls apart with a 40 km/h cross-shore wind, so get your fix in the morning. Sunday and Monday mornings have a touch more size at 6ft, and the breeze is cross-off, but they're calling it marginal due to tide and the period drops a bit. It just won’t have that same clean, crisp look. The energy is moderate (1861, 1436), but the wind angle is more cross than anything, so it gets a bit ragged. And forget the afternoons – they’re a total blowout with fresh cross-shore winds.

Midweek, from the 8th through the 11th, is a dead zone. Swell is hanging in the 5ft to 8ft range, but every session is plagued by a cross or cross-shore breeze from 15 to 40 km/h, leaving behind lumpy, cross-chop. The energy does spike on Tuesday afternoon (3870), but it’s useless when it’s that messy. You wouldn’t wanna be out there paddling; you’d wanna be kiting.

The second week has a bit more promise. Saturday the 12th morning is small at 4ft but super long-period, 20 seconds – clean, but not much power. The afternoon is bigger at 6ft but the cross-shore wind is back. Then we get our next real window early Sunday morning, September 13th. There’s 8ft of SW swell at 17 seconds with a light SSE cross-off breeze. That energy is strong (3122) and it's looking like the best quality of the entire stretch after that first Saturday. This will be proper, but 8ft is getting heaving – it’s for the experienced crew only. Monday the 14th morning is still okay at 6ft with light winds, but the afternoon brings a storm risk and gets messy.

After that, the wind just won’t give us a clean go. The 15th and 16th have lighter mornings, but the afternoon cross-shore winds are relentless. The 18th, Friday, shows a morning with a cross-off wind and a clean 6ft SSW swell – that’s a promising one, but it’s over a week out, so treat that as a possibility, not a promise. And the final day, the 20th, Sunday, has a light cross-onshore breeze and 5ft of SW swell – could be okay, but not a standout.

So, the clear calls to action are Saturday morning the 5th and Sunday morning the 13th. If you only get one, the 13th has the size and grunt for a proper session, but the 5th is the cleanest conditions you'll see. The rest, you’re just fighting the wind, which is a losing battle around here. Not a classic run for Baya Reef, but when she turns it on, she turns it on.

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.
