The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s ahead for Baya Reef.

First thing you need to know: the water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it.

Overall, this 16-day stretch is a mixed bag. There’s consistent swell running, but the wind is the real story, and it’s not a friendly one for most of the period. We’ve got a lot of lumpy, cross-shore chop to deal with, especially in the afternoons when the breeze kicks up to 19 mph or more. The mornings are your only real window, and even then, it’s often marginal.

The best of the best? That’s looking like the morning of Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a clean 7 ft swell from the SSW, period around 16 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell, meaning plenty of energy and good shape. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which is a rare clean moment in this forecast. The combined energy is strong at 2304 – you’ll feel the push. This is the standout session for any experienced surfer.

The other one to circle is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. Clean again with a light breeze, 6 ft from the SW and 16 seconds. The energy is moderate at 1759, but the conditions should be excellent for an advanced crew. That one’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it – promising but not locked in.

For the rest of it, the mornings are your only hope. Most days have that cross-shore wind, but if you can get out early on the 29th of August (Saturday), the 31st of August (Monday), or the 1st of September (Tuesday), there’s 5 ft to 7 ft of swell with light breezes. The quality is still marginal, but it’s rideable.

A heads up: that 7 ft swell on Thursday the 27th of August afternoon is big and ugly – 22 mph cross-shore wind, lumpy as anything. That’s expert-only territory and not even fun. Forget it.

Because the swell is mostly from the SSW and this is a reef break, the long-period groundswell days will produce well-shaped, powerful lines. But the short-period days (like when the period drops to 13 seconds) will be weaker and less organised.

There’s a gap of poor afternoons through most of the second week, but mornings keep offering *something*. The setup isn’t totally blank – it’s just a matter of picking the cleanest windows.

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.
