Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a waiting game. The first surf worth paddling out for shows up on the morning of Tuesday, July 7th at Baya Reef. This is an advanced reef break that needs the right conditions, and it’s exposed to the SSW swell that’s filling in.
The standout window is hands-down the Thursday morning, July 9th session. We’re looking at clean surf from a 5ft SSW swell with a long 14-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is spot on average for this time of year. The energy is solid at (1336), so you’ll feel plenty of push. The sets will have some breathing room with that long period, making it easier to get into position. Keep in mind, Baya Reef can get *sometimes* crowded, so you might have some company out there.
Another cracker to keep an eye on is the Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell drops to 3ft but the wind goes glassy – light from the south at 5 km/h. That’s a major positive. The swell direction is SW with a 13-second period, and energy is moderate (367). It won’t be a power day, but the conditions will be clean and inviting for a fun session.
Now, for the second week, things get interesting. Monday morning, July 13th brings a stunner: a 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 21-second period, glassy conditions, and clean as you like. The energy reads (1090), which is strong for such a modest height. That long period means the waves will be lined up and powerful for the size, but at a reef break like this, it’ll offer up proper shape.
Then, Saturday morning, July 18th looks like the size pick of the entire run. We’ve got a 6ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, clean conditions, and energy at (1658). That’s a lot of grunt in the water. For a reef break, this could be a dream. But note: at over 5ft, it’s stepping up for intermediate to advanced surfers. If it’s your kind of wave, mark the calendar.
The rest of the period is a mix of okay mornings with lighter winds, but the afternoons tend to get blown out with a cross-shore chop. There’s a lot of “marginal” in the data, so stick to the mornings for the best chance of a clean wave.
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.
