Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baya Reef over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at Baya Reef for the next couple of weeks. This spot is a reef setup for advanced folks only, and it breaks consistently, so there’s always something in the water if the wind cooperates.
The whole run is built around a steady SSW to SW groundswell with periods stretching from 14 to 17 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell, meaning powerful, well-shaped waves but with long gaps between sets. For a reef like this, that’s premium. Combined energy levels are moderate to strong, mostly between 800 and 2100, so there’s plenty of push.
Water temp is 83°F, pretty standard for this time of year.
The first standout is Thursday morning, July 9th. Swell is 5ft from the SSW, 15-second period, with a light SE breeze keeping it glassy. Energy at 1355. Clean, long, powerful lines on the reef – a proper session.
The other one to mark is Tuesday morning, July 14th. Swell is 6ft from the SSW, with a 17-second period – that’s as long as it gets. Light SSE cross-off wind, clean conditions, energy at 1537. For experienced surfers, this is the best of the second week.
Most afternoons get messy with a fresh SSE breeze putting a lumpy chop on the face. The mornings are your window, with light breezes and cleaner water. There are a few good morning sessions in between, like Friday morning, July 17th, with 4ft SW swell and glassy conditions – dead calm, that’s a gift.
The big highlights are Thursday the 9th and Tuesday the 14th. The rest is patchy but mornings offer a chance most days. The reef doesn’t go flat, but that cross-shore wind is the main thing to dodge.
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.
