Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baya Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the local waters.
Baya Reef is a reef break that’s strictly for the advanced crew. Over the next 16 days, we’ve got a solid run of swell, but the wind is going to be the main challenge. It starts slow, but there’s a true standout if you’re willing to wait.
The first session worth paddling out for is Monday morning, 13 July. The water is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a 2ft SSW groundswell pushing through with a very long 21-second period. That’s proper energy (833) for a small wave, so expect long, clean lines peeling off the reef. The swell direction is exactly what the reef wants, so it’ll be a beautiful, if small, morning. The afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph cross-shore, so make the dawn patrol.
The real standout? Tuesday morning, 14 July. This is the pick of the whole run. We’re looking at 6ft of SSW swell, with a 17-second period and a combined energy reading of 2066 – that’s strong. The wind is a clean, cross-offshore breeze, making for excellent conditions. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The sets will have real punch, and the reef will be working perfectly. The afternoon gets messy again with a 12 mph cross-shore, so get in early.
The week after that gets a bit lumpy. There’s a lot of swell around the 5ft to 7ft mark, but the wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-on, and the afternoons often get blown out by a fresh breeze. The early mornings are the only chance for a clean window. By Sunday morning, 26 July, there’s another promising window with 6ft of SSW swell and a 15-second period, delivering a solid 1496 in energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so that’s one for the experienced crew to circle.
Overall, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is there, but you’ve got to be disciplined about the wind. The Monday and Tuesday mornings of the first week are your best bet. The second week has some glimpse of clean surf, but it’s more of a wait-and-see game.
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.
