The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’ve got a solid 16-day window, and it’s all about Baya Reef. This is an advanced reef break, and it’s exposed to the swell, so it’s going to be a busy one. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The pattern is a long run of consistent, powerful SSW groundswell, but the wind is a constant problem. For most of the period, we’re looking at a cross-shore breeze, which is going to leave the surface a bit lumpy and choppy. It’s not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world.
The best of the bunch looks like Tuesday morning, August 11th. The wind will be a light cross-offshore, which is as clean as it gets. The swell is a meaty 8 ft from the SSW with a very long 19-second period, pumping a massive combined energy of 4918. That’s a lot of power. This is for the experienced crew only – over 8 ft is expert territory, and that long period will make it unload pretty fast on the reef. It’s going to be a serious session.
The other standout is Thursday morning, August 13th. The swell is a solid 10 ft from the S (17 seconds, 5252 energy), and the wind is basically glassy at 3 mph from the S. That’s as good as it gets for conditions. Again, 10 ft is only for the experts, but if you’re up for it, this could be the best wave of the whole run.
The rest of the period is a mix of similar-sized swell (6 ft to 10 ft) with that persistent cross-shore wind. The afternoons tend to get windier, so mornings are your best bet. Crowds are likely at Baya Reef, so get in early if you want a peak.
The swell is big, the conditions are marginal, and it’s a reef. Honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of the days, unless you time those morning windows perfectly.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
