The Lowdown

Alright, let's talk Baya Reef. It's a reef setup, so it's a diva – needs the right swell and the wind to behave. For the next couple of weeks, the wind is mostly gonna be blowing across the waves, which ain't perfect, but it's not a total write-off. The water's at 27°, normal for the season.

We're starting on Thursday the 30th of July. A 1.2m SSW swell rolls in, but with a 20 km/h cross-shore wind, it's a bit messy. The energy is moderate (1070), but it's a marginal start. Friday the 31st is more of the same: 1.2m in the morning, a bit bigger later, but still that cross-shore. The period gets up to 17 seconds on Friday morning, that's a real groundswell, but the wind will chop it up.

The weekend of August 1st and 2nd is a rinse and repeat. Swell between 1.5m and 1.8m, cross-shore wind, energy climbing to 1790 by Sunday. It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

The first real window of opportunity comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning brings a 2.0m SSW swell, and the wind shifts to a cross-offshore direction at 25 km/h. The report says "clean" – that's the magic word for a reef. The energy is strong (1918). This is your best shot for quality waves for a while.

Then, hold on to your board. The 11th of August, Tuesday morning, shows a 2.5m S swell with an 18-second period. The energy is massive (5165). That's a lot of power. But the cross-shore wind is still there, so it'll be a challenge. Definitely expert-only territory.

The real long-range gem is around the 13th and 14th of August. On the 13th, we've got a 1.5m swell in the morning with a period of 23 seconds. The energy is very strong (3911). Thursday afternoon is a 2.4m swell with a 21-second period, energy hitting 7657. That's a serious, powerful groundswell. By Friday the 14th, it's a 3.0m SSW swell, 18-second period, energy over 6000. This is huge, powerful, and for experts only. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is the best we'll get. It's a long way off, so don't book the trip yet, but if that forecast holds, Baya Reef could be absolutely firing.

So, for the cleanest ridable waves, hit Saturday the 8th of August morning. For the big, powerful, expert-only stuff, cross your fingers for the 13th and 14th.

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.
