The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the forecast for Baya Reef. It's a solid reef-break setup that needs a good SW swell to get going, and for the next week or so, it's a bit of a waiting game.
The first half of this outlook is pretty quiet. We've got a small window of opportunity, but the swell is just not doing the business. The energy is building, but conditions are often cross or lumpy, especially on the afternoons, keeping things marginal. It's not until the start of August that things start to sound a lot more interesting.
So, let's talk about the one true standout. Monday morning, August 3rd, is the session to circle on the calendar. We're looking at a solid 9.8ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. That's the kind of pulse that will really light up a reef like Baya. The combined energy is a massive 5641, which is serious power. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the SE, which will keep the faces clean and make for some proper, deep barrels. This is a big one. It's going to be a powerful, heavy wave, so this is strictly for the experts. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 81.9° for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the week leading up to that, the best of the bunch is Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell is 4.9ft from the SSE, but with a short period of 8 seconds, it won't have the same grunt. The energy is moderate at 830. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, so it'll be clean. It's a small, fun-sized wave, but nothing to write home about.
For the rest of the period, the swell fluctuates between 2.0ft and 6.2ft, but the wind is often cross or cross-shore, chopping it up. The afternoons in particular are a write-off with strong breezes. There’s a long period swell coming through on the 27th and 30th of July, with 19-second periods, but the swell height is tiny (2.0ft to 3.3ft), so it won't even break properly. It's all about waiting for that big Monday morning.
Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, save your energy for the first week of August.

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.
