The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid, long run of swell on the way for the reef, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. It’s not perfect, but there are some windows where the stars align, especially for the crew who know their way around a steep, powerful wave.
The water’s sitting at 82°F right now, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real highlight kicks off Sunday morning, the 9th of August. We’re looking at a clean 6ft SSW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-off at 6 mph. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll be packing a punch and offering those nice, long lulls between sets. The combined energy is a strong 1780, so it’s got plenty of grunt. The reef will handle this beautifully, and with light winds, it’s going to be glassy. This is the standout, no question. It’s an advanced break, so leave the foam boards at home.
The energy builds through the week, but the story is the wind. Monday morning (10th August) is cross and light, with a 6ft S swell, but the period drops a touch. By Tuesday the 11th, the swell is up to 8ft from the SSW, but it’s cross and the wind gets up. This is where it gets tricky – the quality goes down as the afternoon winds pick up and put a chop on the face.
Now, if you’re looking for something big and powerful, keep your eye on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. That’s over a week away, so it’s a long-range call, but it looks promising. The forecast is for a solid 10ft SSW swell, with a 17-second period, and light cross winds in the morning. The combined energy is a massive 4786, which is very strong. That’s a serious, heavy swell. For experts only. The afternoon will be blown out by the moderate breeze, so the morning window is the only one.
The second week settles down a bit. The swell sticks around but the periods drop. The mornings of the 21st (Friday) and 23rd (Sunday) of August offer some cleaner, cross-off conditions with a fresh breeze, but the swell is still a healthy 8ft and 6ft respectively. It’s not the same quality as that first Sunday, but there’s still wave energy to be had.
Overall, your best bet is the morning of the 9th. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it’s right here. The big one on the 19th is a promise for the patient and the brave.
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.
