Alright groms, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking.

We got a solid stretch of swell on the way, but you gotta pick your windows. The best juice is in the second week, but the glassy mornings are the real score.

Saturday, July 11th – Kickin' off with some juice. Baya Reef Saturday morning is the early winner. A clean 5ft SW groundswell with a very long 14-second period, a light offshore breeze, and combined energy at 804. This is an advanced reef, so know your limits. Afternoon turns sloppy with cross-shore wind.

Sunday, July 12th – Swell dies to 3ft with a cross-on breeze. Not worth the wet suit.

Monday, July 13th – Monday morning is stunning. Small at 2ft, but it's a 21-second groundswell and dead glassy. Perfect lines on the reef. Energy is low (791), so it's a finesse session. Afternoon chops up.

Tuesday, July 14th-Thursday, July 16th – Solid pulse Tuesday: 6ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. Big energy (2277). Wind is cross-shore so it's bumpy, but there's size. Drops to 5ft Wednesday, then 4ft Thursday. All big period SW.

Friday, July 17th-Monday, July 20th – This is the meat of the run. Friday morning: 5ft SW swell, light cross-shore. Saturday, July 18th morning is a standout: 5ft SSW swell, clean cross-off breeze. Solid. Sunday the 19th morning: 5ft SSW swell with 20-second period and cross-off wind – that's 1927 energy and clean. Then Monday, July 20th morning hits the peak: 7ft SSW swell (16 sec) with light cross-shore. That's 2477 energy – expert territory only.

Tuesday, July 21st onward – Swell holds around 6ft for a few days but wind gets messy. Thursday the 23rd drops to 4ft. The last few days (24th-26th) are weak, under 3ft, with strong wind. Nothing to write home about.

Pick of the bunch: Saturday, July 18th morning. That cross-off breeze will make the reef a gem. Monday, July 13th morning for a glassy, long-period session if you like 'em small.

Water temp is about average for this time of year.

This is an advanced reef break. It's consistent, but you gotta read the tide. And on those clean mornings, you'll have company.

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.

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.
