The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so it’s a pretty steady run of swell at Baya Reef, but the wind is gonna be the main character here. Most of the time it’s blowing cross-shore, which keeps things a bit choppy. The standout period? That’s the Saturday the 12th of September. The morning session is looking like the pick of the whole outlook. You’ve got a solid 4ft swell from the southwest with a very long 19-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s gonna hold shape nicely on the reef. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’ll be clean, and the water temp is sitting at 78°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year (anomaly of -2°). The combined energy is strong at 1796, so there’s plenty of push in the water. It’s an advanced spot, and it’s consistent, but it can get crowded – so get out early.

The rest of the run? There’s always swell in the 5ft to 7ft range, mostly from the southwest or south-southwest, with periods hanging around 14 to 16 seconds. The problem is the wind – it’s pretty much always cross-shore, from the south or south-southeast, at 9 to 16 mph. That’s going to put a bit of texture on the face. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September both have similar setups: 5ft to 7ft swell, but only the mornings offer gentle winds for slightly better conditions. Afternoons get a moderate breeze and cross-chop.

Sunday the 13th of September has a bigger 7ft swell in the morning, but with rain showers and moderate energy (2613), it’s still cross-shore. Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, and Wednesday the 16th all follow the same script – waist-to-chest high swell, cross-shore winds, and marginal conditions. By the 20th of September, the morning has a 7ft swell with light cross-onshore wind, which is a bit of a bummer for a Sunday. The last few days, from the 22nd of September onward, show a similar pattern: consistent swell but the wind never truly turns offshore.

Overall, Baya Reef is pumping with swell all through the 16 days, but the lack of good offshore wind keeps it from being epic. The Saturday the 12th morning is your real standout. Get in the water then.

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.
