The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this spot.
Straight up, this is a tricky outlook. The first few days are pretty average—the waves are there but the conditions are messy. The best action is going to be for the experienced crew, and it’s going to take a little patience. We’ve got a solid run of groundswell from the SSW direction, but it’s a real game of timing.
The first real standout is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. For a while there, the swell is bumpy and the wind is all over the shop, but that morning, the wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The combined swell energy is strong at 2598, with a solid 8ft SSW swell on a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell. For a reef break like Baya Reef, that long period is going to push through with some serious power and shape. It’s a break for the advanced crowd, so leave the foamies at home. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Then, Sunday morning the 9th of August is another cracker. Same story—light cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and a 7ft SSW swell. Combined energy is still very strong at 2245. That’s a really fun, punchy morning for anyone who knows what they’re doing. Just keep an eye on the tide.
After that, things get a bit more average again. There’s a glimpse of something on the 11th of August, Tuesday morning, with a bigger 8ft swell from the south and a very long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 4925, which is serious. But the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’s not glassy. It’s still a decent option for the experienced, but it’s not the standout those earlier mornings are. The afternoon that day gets blown out.
The last week of the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell sticks around but the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making it lumpy. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 15th of August has a light breeze and a 7ft SSW swell, but it’s not the same quality as the 8th and 9th.
Overall, if you can only pick one session, make it the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. The Sunday the 9th is a very close second. The rest of the window is a gamble.
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.
