Right, let's have a look at what's on offer. We're looking at a solid window of surf at Baya Reef, a reef setup that's really for the advanced crew only. The water is sitting at 84°F which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, no real shock there.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Saturday (4th July) and Sunday (5th July) have some size, with 6ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-on, cross, it's not clean. The energy is massive, hitting 2049 and 1284, but it's wasted in those conditions. It's a classic case of "looks better than it is."

Now, here's the standout. Monday morning (6th July) is the one to really circle. We've got a glassy 4ft SSW swell, with a period of 13 seconds. The energy is still moderate at 1010, but the wind is dead calm. That's going to be pristine, clean waves for the experienced surfer. This is the best of the best in this whole forecast.

As we move through the week, Tuesday morning (7th July) is clean with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops back a bit. Wednesday morning (8th July) is another cracker for the experienced surfer, with 6ft of SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is strong at 1444. The afternoons, though, get blown out by strong cross-shore winds, so it's a morning game.

There's a fair gap from around the 12th of July where the swell really drops off and the wind stays messy. The surf gets small and weak, with energy levels down in the hundreds. Nothing really worth paddling out for until we get a glimmer of hope on Thursday morning (16th July). That morning is glassy again, with a 3ft swell from the SW and a very long period of 18 seconds. That's groundswell, and on a reef like Baya, it could be really special, but it's a long way out and the size is small.

The following week has some clean mornings but the swell is inconsistent and the size is modest. It's not a total blank, but the real quality is packed into those first few mornings. For a place that's fairly consistent, we'll get waves, but you've got to be sharp on when to go.

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.
